2.6 Hazards
2.6.1 Danger of injury
Risk of burns due to insufficient supply pressure
• In full-load operation of the product at an ambient temperature of 60 °C, parts
and areas of the housing may heat up heavily.
• Do not touch the product or any connected parts during operation.
• Allow the product to cool down before carrying out any work.
Danger of injury due to contaminated compressed air
• Ensure that the specified air quality class for the flow medium is maintained.
Contamination in the compressed air leads to damage to the product, mea-
surement errors and malfunctions. Unintended signals at the outputs lead to
personal injury or material damage (injury prevention, material protection).
2.6.2 Material damage
Damage due to too high mechanical loads
• Never twist or bend the product and add-on parts, or mount them when they
are under tension.
• Do not use the product as a handle or step.
• Do not position any objects on the product.
Damage due to control network malfunction
Products with Ethernet connection are designed to be used on specific industrial
control networks. Observe the following safety measures:
• Always follow industry best practices for network segmentation.
• Avoid exposing products with Ethernet connection directly to the Internet.
• Minimize internet and business network exposure for all control system de-
vices and/or control systems.
• Ensure that products, control system devices and/or control systems are not
