DANGER! Risk of explosion if the device is painted after receipt from the
manufacturer.
Non-compliance may result in serious or even fatal injuries.
Do not paint the device.
Do not have the paintwork touched up by anyone other than the manufacturer.
DANGER! Explosion due to defective sealing of the device!
Non-compliance may result in serious or even fatal injuries.
Attach plates without making any additional drilled holes.
Equip the enclosure only with suitable components (e.g. cable entries, stopping
plugs, drain valves or breathers) that is verifiably approved for use in hazardous
areas and meets the requirements of the IP protection rating.
Examples: US EC Type Examination Certificate or IECEx Certificate of Conformity
Observe the operating instructions from the manufacturers of the components and
seals that are to be installed.
Only seal unused cable entries with stopping plugs that have been approved for
the type of protection.
Seal all open drilled holes by means of suitable components.
The installation conditions (see "Mounting" and "Installation" chapters) and specifications on
the rating plate must be complied with. Therefore:
Check whether enough cable entries are provided. Create additional drilled holes if
necessary, see chapter 5.1.
Equip terminals and, if necessary, mount built-in components; see chapter 5.3.
To change or equip the terminal boxes later, the following options are available:
• Additional drilled holes on the flange plate, either by R. STAHL (chapter 5.1.1) or by the
customer (chapter 5.1.2.1)
• Additional drilled holes in the enclosure either by R. STAHL (chapter 5.1.1) or by the
customer (chapter 5.1.2.2)
• External add-on components either by R. STAHL or by the customer (chapter 5.2)
• Internal built-in components either by R. STAHL or by the customer (chapter 5.3)
NOTICE!
Non-compliance can result in material damage.
Acceptance testing for work you performed must be carried out in accordance
with national regulations. Otherwise, you must have R. STAHL or a test body
(third-party inspection) (Chapter 3.3.1) carry out acceptance testing. This can be done
by R. STAHL on request for a corresponding quotation. If the work is carried out by
R. STAHL, no additional acceptance is necessary.
