Operating Instructions, 06/2018, A5E44455710A 
15 
The assessment of operating risks and local operating conditions and the necessary 
monitoring methods must be clarified and made binding by the system operator in 
consultation with the responsible supervisory authority. The required measures must be 
adhered to at all times. The machine manufacturer cannot provide any generally applicable 
recommendations. Please observe the information in these operating instructions. 
 
Note 
The basic requirements relating to the assessment of ignition hazards arising from electrical 
equipment and thei
r operation in hazardous zones are specified in the 2014/34/EU and 
1999/92/EC directives as well as in the IEC/EN
 60079 series of standards. 
If a third-party certification is available for the machine, then carefully comply with the 
technical data defined in it and any special conditions.  
The certificate must be available before commissioning. 
 
Electrostatic sensitive devices 
Material damage due to electrostatic discharge 
Electronic modules contain components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge. 
These components can be damaged or destroyed if they are not handled correctly. To 
protect equipment against damage, follow the instructions given below. 
●  Only touch electronic modules if you absolutely have to work on them.  
●  The body of the person concerned must have been electrostatically discharged and 
grounded immediately before any electronic modules are touched. 
●  Electronic modules should not be brought into contact with electrically insulating 
materials, such as: 
–  Plastic film 
–  Plastic parts 
–  Insulating table supports 
–  Clothing made of synthetic fibers 
●  Always place electrostatic sensitive devices on conductive bases. 
●  Always pack, store and transport electronic modules or components in conductive 
packaging, such as: 
–  Metallized plastic or metal containers 
–  Conductive foam material 
–  Domestic aluminum foil
