Safety instructions

Appropriate use
The PMX amplifier system is to be used exclusively for measurement tasks
and directly related control tasks. Use for any purpose other than the above is
deemed to be non-designated use. In the interests of safety, the device
should only be operated as described in the Operating Manuals. It is also
essential to comply with the legal and safety requirements for the application
concerned during use. The same applies to the use of accessories.
Each time, before starting up the equipment, you must first run a project
planning and risk analysis that takes into account all the safety aspects of
automation technology. This particularly concerns personal and machine
protection.
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants where malfunctions
could cause major damage, loss of data or even personal injury. In the event
of a fault, these precautions establish safe operating conditions.
This can be done, for example, by mechanical interlocking, error signaling,
limit value switches, etc.
The device must not be connected directly to the mains supply. The
supply voltage must be 10 to 30 V.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The PMX system is a state of the art unit and as such is reliable. The module
may give rise to residual dangers if it is inappropriately installed and operated
by untrained personnel.
Any person instructed to carry out installation, starting up, maintenance or
repair of the module must have read and understood the Operating Manual
and in particular the technical safety instructions.
Conditions at the place of installation
− Protect the device from direct contact with water.

snow, etc. The protection class under the IP standard DIN EN 60 529, is
