114  Operating Instructions, 10/2013, A5E00074631-11 
 
Water in compressed air line 
Device damage and possibly loss of type of protection. The factory setting for the purging 
air selector is "IN". In the "IN" position, water from the compressed air line may enter the 
device from the pneumatics during initial commissioning. 
•  Before commissioning, make sure that no water is present in the compressed air line. 
If you cannot be sure that there is no water in the compressed air line: 
•  Set the purging air selector to "OUT". In this way, you prevent water from the 
compressed air line from penetrating the device. 
•  Only set the purging air selector to "IN" again when all water has been discharged from 
the compressed air line. 
 
Loss of degree of protection 
Damage to device if the enclosure is open or not properly closed. The degree of protection 
specified on the nameplate or in Chapter "Technical data (Page 235)" is no longer 
guaranteed. 
•  Make sure that the device is securely closed. 
 
Commissioning and operation with pending error 
If an error message appears, correct operation in the process is no longer guaranteed. 
•  Check the gravity of the error 
•  Correct the error 
•  If the error still exists: 
–  Take the device out of operation. 
 
Prevent renewed commissioning.
