DANGER!
For electrical installation, observe the
relevant electrotechnical regulations
and the accident prevention regula-
tions that apply in the country of use.
In Germany, these are the VDE regu-
lations and the accident prevention
regulations of the employers’ liability
insurance.
The following regulations apply to in-
stallation in hazardous areas:
EN60079-14:2008 (VDE 0165,
Part1) Explosive Atmospheres– Elec-
trical Installations Design, Selection
and Erection.
Adhere to the terminal assignment.
Switching the assignment of the elec-
trical terminals may cause the explo-
sion protection to become ineffective.
Do not loosen enameled screws in or
on the housing. The maximum per-
missible values specied in the EC-
type examination certicates apply
when interconnecting intrinsically
safe electrical equipment (U
