AVENTICS | AES | R412018134–BAL–001–AD/06.2016 | English

Improper use

Improper use of the product includes using the module as a safety
component.
The user alone bears the risks of improper use of the product.

Personnel qualifications

The work described in this documentation requires basic
mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic knowledge, as well as
knowledge of the appropriate technical terms. In order to ensure
safe use, these activities may therefore only be carried out by
qualified technical personnel or an instructed person under the
direction and supervision of qualified personnel.
Qualified personnel are those who can recognize possible hazards
and institute the appropriate safety measures, due to their
professional training, knowledge, and experience, as well as their
understanding of the relevant regulations pertaining to the work to
be done. Qualified personnel must observe the rules relevant to the
subject area.

General safety instructions

W
Observe the regulations for accident prevention and
environmental protection.
W
Observe the regulations for explosive areas.
W
Observe the safety instructions and regulations of the country
in which the product is used or operated.
W
Only use AVENTICS products that are in perfect working order.
W
Follow all the instructions.
W
Only use accessories and spare parts approved by the
manufacturer.
W
Comply with the technical data and ambient conditions listed in
the product documentation.
W
You may only commission the product if you have determined
that the end product (such as a machine or system) in which
the AVENTICS products are installed meets the country-
specific provisions, safety regulations, and standards for the
specific application.
W
Bus couplers and I/O modules contain components that are
sensitive to static electricity. If they are touched, this may lead
to an electrostatic discharge that could damage or destroy
them. Only remove the device from the ESD protective bag
after the potential has been equalized. Avoid direct contact
with electronic components.
Safety instructions related to the product
and technology
Danger of explosion while operating in explosive atmospheres!
If the system where the unit is to be installed is located in an
explosive atmosphere, it may ignite during operation.
O
Always comply with local installation regulations.
O
Carry out tasks in non-explosive atmospheres only with a
fire permit for these tasks. Use only non-sparking tools if
you still need to deal with the presence of an explosive
atmosphere.
Danger of explosion with no impact protection!
Mechanical damage, e.g. strain on the push-in fittings or plug
connectors, will lead to non-compliance with the IP65/IP67
protection class.
O
In explosive environments, make sure that the equipment is
installed in a manner that protects it from all types of
mechanical damage.
Danger of explosion due to spark formation!
Electrostatic charging on the unit can cause sparks to form and
presents an explosion hazard in explosion protection zones.
O
Avoid electrostatic charging, e.g. by grounding the AES unit.
Danger of explosion caused by overvoltage!
The module is defined as low energy equipment and must be
protected against overvoltage in explosive areas.
O
Make sure that the power supply is protected against
overvoltage in explosive areas.
Danger of explosion due to circulating currents!
Stray magnetic fields can lead to circulating currents, e.g.
W
near electric drives in asymmetrical load cases,
W
during arc welding if the ground is routed via the system and
not a 0 V line,
W
or with cathodic corrosion protection.
O
Make sure that there is protection against the possible
effects of circulating currents.
Danger of burns caused by hot surfaces!
Touching the surfaces of the unit and adjacent components
during operation could cause burns.
O
Let the relevant system component cool down before
working on the unit.
O
Do not touch the relevant system component during
operation.
Danger of injury if assembled under pressure or voltage!
Assembling when under pressure or voltage can lead to
injuries.
O
Make sure that the relevant system part is not under voltage
or pressure before you assemble the product.
O
Protect the system against being switched on.
