2.2 Additional information: Information for plant
managers (ATEX)
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with Directive 94/9/EC until
April 19, 2016 and from April 20, 2016 in accordance with Directive 2014/34/EU
("Explosion Protection Directive”), and it is intended for use in industrial plants with a
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Commissioning in the European Community in accordance with Directive
2006/42/EU (“Machinery Directive”) is forbidden until the plant into which the
machine will be installed has been shown to conform with this directive. Please
observe the country-specific regulations when using the machine outside the
European Community.
Commissioning prior to establishing conformance
If the machine is commissioned prior to determining the plant conformance, the
explosion protection of the plant is not ensured. An explosion can occur. This can
result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Do not commission the machine until it has been confirmed that the plant conforms
with the explosion protection directive.
2.3 The five safety rules
For your own personal safety and to prevent material damage when carrying out any
work, always observe the safety-relevant instructions and the following five safety
rules according to EN 50110-1 "Working in a voltage-free state". Apply the five safety
rules in the sequence stated before starting work.
Five safety rules
1. Disconnect the system.
Also disconnect the auxiliary circuits, for example, anti-condensation heating.
2. Secure against reconnection.
3. Verify absence of operating voltage.
4. Ground and short-circuit.
5. Provide protection against adjacent live parts.
To energize the system, apply the measures in reverse order.
