Use with additional measures
The device should not be used at the following locations unless additional measures are
taken:
• In locations with a high degree of ionizing radiation
• In locations with severe operating conditions, for example, due to:
– Corrosive vapors, gases, oils or chemicals
– Strong electrical or magnetic fields of high intensity
• In plants that require special monitoring, for example, in:
– Elevators
– Plants in especially hazardous areas
Reducing vibrations
If the device is subjected to greater shocks or vibrations, you must take appropriate measures
to reduce acceleration or amplitudes.
Risk analysis and measures
Hazards emanating from unprotected machines or plants
The results of a risk analysis can reveal any hazards emanating from unprotected machinery.
Such hazards may pose a risk of personal injury.
You can prevent personal injury caused by hazards as specified in the risk analysis by taking
the following measures:
• Installing additional protective devices on machinery and plants. In particular, it must
also be ensured that the programming, configuration and wiring of all I/Os used takes
place in accordance with the safety performance (SIL, PL or Cat.) identified by the
requisite risk analysis.
• Proper use of the device and a function test to detect programming, parameter
assignment and wiring errors.
• Documentation of the test results, which must be entered in the relevant safety reports if
required.
