Safety
DANGER!
The connection of non-intrinsically-safe or non-
associated equipment presents a risk of explosion!
Operating the EK280 in zone 0, 1 and connecting devices which are not
certified as "associated equipment" present a risk of explosion.
Therefore:
– When using the EK280 in zone 0, 1, it should only be connected to
certified associated equipment as per the ATEX Product Directive
94/9/EC.
– The EK280 should only be connected to the intrinsically-safe circuits
of associated equipment whose electrical data corresponds to those
requirements stipulated in the declaration of conformity for the EK280
(see Appendix).
DANGER!
Using incorrect batteries presents a risk of explosion!
Connect only the prescribed Elster battery-types to the
device (see chapter 9.1.4 .)
When connecting and operating the EK280 in explosive gas
atmospheres, the corresponding standards must be
observed:
DIN EN 60079-0
DIN EN 60079-14
The device may only be used in zone 0, 1 or zone 2, if
installation has been carried out according to the separate
requirements stipulated under DIN EN 60079-14 and the
operating conditions (see "Technical Data" chapter) as well
as the connection conditions (see "Assembly, Connection
and Putting into Operation" chapter).
The device may be dangerous if unqualified personnel use it incorrectly or
do not use it according to its intended purpose.
