Warning and Safety Information

General Provisions
The IS...-.X weighing platforms meet
the requirements for Group II, Category
2 equipment (and Category 1 in some
cases; see table below) in accordance
with EC Directive 94/9/EEC and
bear markings in accordance with
KEMA EC type-examination certificate
ATEX1099X.
Furthermore, these platforms meet
the EC Directives for electromagnetic
compatibility (see the Declaration of
Conformity in the enclosed installation
instructions). Improper use or handling,
however, can result in damage and/or
injury.
- The permitted uses of the weighing
platforms are specified in the type-
examination certificate. Be sure to
observe all restrictions listed in the
type-approval certificate. Operating
the weighing platform outside of these
restrictions is not permitted, and is
considered use of the equipment for
other than its intended purpose.
Ask your local Minebea Intec office
or dealer for information on the legal
regulations applicable in your country.
- Installation in a Zone 1 or 2 hazardous
area or Class I, Division 1 or 2 hazard-
ous location must be performed by a
trained technician who is familiar with
the assembly, start-up and operation
of the system. The trained technician
must also have the required qualifica-
tions and be familiar with the relevant
guidelines and regulations. If you need
assistance, contact your Minebea Intec
dealer or the Minebea Intec Service
Center. Any installation work that does
not conform to the instructions in this
manual will result in forfeiture of all
claims under the manufacturer's war-
ranty.
- The IS...-.X weighing platforms may
be used and operated by qualified
personnel only. If the equipment
housing is opened by anyone other
than persons authorized by Minebea
Intec, this will negate its conformity
with
regulations governing use in the stated
hazardous areas/locations and result
in forfeiture of all claims under the
manufacturer's warranty.
- Chemicals (e.g., gases or dusts) that
can corrode and damage the inside
or outside of the device must be
kept away from the equipment.
The relevant specifications are listed
in the type-examination certificate
included with this equipment.

IS...-X Models
- The casing on all connecting cables,
as well as the casing on wires inside the
equipment housing, is made of PVC.
Chemicals that corrode these materials
must be kept away from these cables.
Cabling: The casing of the power cable
on AC adapter/power supply models
YPS02-Z.., -XDR, -XKR and -XAS is
made of rubber.
- Do not expose the IS...-.X to aggressive
chemical vapors or to extreme tempera-
tures, moisture, shocks, or vibration.
The allowable operating temperature
range during operation is 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F).
Please observe the following when
installing the weighing system
- Always comply with the applicable
accident prevention regulations.
- If you use cables purchased from
another manufacturer, check the pin
assignments. Before connecting the
cable to Minebea Intec equipment,
check the pin assignments in the cable
against those specified by Minebea
Intec and disconnect any wires that are
assigned differently. The operator shall
be solely responsible for any damage or
injuries that occur when using cables
not supplied by Minebea Intec. Use only
original Minebea Intec spare parts.
- In the hazardous area/location, place a
protective cap over the female interface
connector if no interface is connected.
Make sure the IP protection is not
damaged during installation.
- Handle the equipment as specified
in EN 60529 (in Germany: VDE 0470
Part 1) in accordance with its protection
(IP) rating. Refer to the table above for
the IP protection ratings of the IS...-.X
models. The protection rating of
the accessories designed for use in
hazardous areas/locations is IP65.
- Avoid exposing the equipment to
static electricity; be sure to connect
the equipotential bonding conductor.
Disconnecting equipotential bonding
conductors is not permitted.
- You can connect a maximum of
8 weighing platforms with bus-capable
RS-485 data output ports over a Zener
barrier (for example, YDI01-Z).
For the User
- Have the equipment inspected at
appropriate intervals for correct
functioning and safety by a trained
technician.
- Always make sure the IS...-.X weighing
platform is disconnected from AC power
before performing any installation,
cleaning, maintenance or repair work.
- When using the weighing equipment
in hazardous areas/locations, make
sure there is no current or voltage in
the equipment before connecting or
disconnecting current-carrying cables
to or from the equipment. Disconnect
the weighing equipment from AC power
before connecting or disconnecting
cables.
- If you see any indication that the
IS...-.X weighing platform cannot be
operated safely (for example, due to
damage), turn off the platform and lock
it in a secure place so that it cannot
be used for the time being. Make sure
the applicable accident prevention
regulations are observed by all operat-
ing personnel.
- The IP protection rating is ensured only
if the rubber gasket is installed correctly
and all cable gland screw fasteners are
connected securely. Any installation
work that does not conform to the
instructions in this manual will result
in forfeiture of all claims under the
manufacturer's warranty.
- Make sure that at least one person
among the operating personnel knows
the importance and function of the
emergency shutoff system and portable
safety equipment. The same person
must also be familiar with the location
and operation of the fire extinguisher.
Make sure the emergency shutoff
system is accessible at all times.
