Do not remove the cover from the connection termi-
•
nals for Ex-e switching circuits until the connected
Ex-e circuits have been disconnected from the power
supply for longer than 4 minutes.
If using the 2-wire version in potentially explosive
•
areas, do not connect any cable to the Power 24 V
supply terminals!
Danger of explosion if the allowable ambient tem-
perature ranges are exceeded!
Observe the respective ambient temperature range
•
which is based on the type designation (e.g. 8643-2-
AL-KS-F-I/O), according to the table in the EC-Type
Examination Certificate (see Appendix / Type Examina-
tion Certificate).
Danger of explosion due to unauthorized combi-
nation of the ignition protection types!
Due to unauthorized combination of the ignition pro-
tection types, the device is not suitable for use in the
explosion-risk area. If the device is nevertheless used in
this area, there is a danger of explosion!
If the bus supply of the 4-wire version of the device
•
was operated once in ignition protection type of
increased safety (e), the bus supply may no longer be
intrinsically safe in the ignition protection type (i)
