Incorrect selection of type of protection
Danger of explosion in areas subject to explosion hazard.
This device is approved for several types of protection.
1. Decide in favor of one type of protection.
2. Connect the device in accordance with the selected type of protection.
3. In order to avoid incorrect use at a later point, make the types of protection that are not
used permanently unrecognizable on the nameplate.
Condensation in the device
Damage to device through formation of condensation if the temperature difference between
transportation or storage and the mounting location exceeds 20 °C (68°F).
• Before taking the device into operation let the device adapt for several hours in the new
environment.
Ambient temperature too high
Damage to cable sheath.
• At an ambient temperature ≥ 60 °C (140 °F), use heat-resistant cables suitable for an
ambient temperature at least 20 °C (68 °F) higher.
Connection of voltage source to current input
Device damage if a voltage source is connected to the current input I
w
(terminals 6 and 7).
• Never connect the current input I
w
to a voltage source, otherwise the positioner may be
destroyed.
• Always use a voltage source with a maximum output current of I = 20 mA.
