Intended use
The AV-EP pressure regulator is a pneumatic device with integrated electronics
that is only designed to regulate pneumatic pressures. It may be operated only
in the installed state together with the base plate in an AV valve system. Only use
compressed air as the medium. Operation with pure oxygen is not permitted.
The AV-EP pressure regulator is intended for professional use only.
The AV-EP pressure regulator may only be used for industrial applications.
An individual license must be obtained from the authorities or an inspection center
for systems that are to be used in a residential area (residential, business, and
commercial areas). In Germany, these individual licenses are issued by the
Regulating Agency for Telecommunications and Post (Regulierungsbehörde
für Telekommunikation und Post, RegTP).
O The pressure regulator may only be used within the limits listed in the
technical data.
Improper use
Improper use of the product includes:
W
Using the AV-EP for any application not stated in these instructions,
W
Using the AV-EP under operating conditions that deviate from those described
in these instructions,
W
Using the AV-EP as a safety component,
W
Using the AV-EP in safety-related controls,
W
Evaluating the display values for safety-relevant functions,
W
Using the AV-EP as a pressure relief valve within the meaning of the
ISO 4414 standard.
Neither the AV-EP pressure regulators nor the AV-EP base plates comply with
the ISO 13849 standard.
O Contact AVENTICS GmbH if you would like to use the device in a safety control
sequence. The address is printed on the back cover of these instructions.
The user alone bears the risks of improper use of the product.
