5 Safety regulations and installation
notes
5.1 Intended use
The devices are intended for application in industrial
environments.
5.2 Installation notes
• The category 3 device is suitable for installation in the
zone 2 potentially explosive area. It fulfills the
requirements of EN60079-0:2012+A11:2013 and
EN60079-15:2010.
• Installation, operation, and maintenance may only be
carried out by qualified electricians. Follow the
installation instructions as described.
• When installing and operating the device, the
applicable regulations and safety directives (including
national safety directives), as well as general technical
regulations, must be observed. The technical data is
provided in the package slip and on the certificates
(conformity assessment, additional approvals where
applicable).
• The device must not be opened or modified. Do not
repair the device yourself, replace it with an equivalent
device. Repairs may only be carried out by the
manufacturer. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from violation.
• The IP20 protection (IEC 60529/EN 60529) of the
device is intended for use in a clean and dry
environment. The device must not be subject to
mechanical strain and/or thermal loads, which exceed
the limits described.
• To protect the device against mechanical or electrical
damage, install it in a suitable housing with appropriate
degree of protection as per IEC60529.
• Only specified devices from Phoenix Contact may be
connected to the 12-pos. S-PORT interface.
• The device is not designed for use in atmospheres with
a danger of dust explosions.
• If dust is present, it is necessary to install into a suitable
approved housing, whereby the surface temperature of
the housing must be taken into consideration.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock
During operation, certain parts of this device
may carry hazardous voltages. Disregarding
this warning may result in damage to
equipment and/or serious personal injury.
– Provide a switch/circuit breaker close to
the device, which is labeled as the
disconnect device for this device or the
entire control cabinet.
– Provide overcurrent protection (I≤6A) in
the installation.
– Disconnect the device from all power
sources during maintenance work and
configuration (the device can remain
connected to SELV or PELV circuits).
– The housing of the device provides a
basic insulation against the neighboring
devices, for 300 V eff. If several devices
are installed next to each other, this has
to be taken into account, and additional
insulation has to be installed if necessary.
If the neighboring device is equipped with
basic insulation, no additional insulation
is necessary.
