4 Safety regulations and installation notes
4.1 Installation and operation
Follow the installation instructions.
When installing and operating the device, the applicable
safety directives (including national safety directives),
accident prevention regulations, as well as general
technical regulations, must be observed.
Do not repair the device yourself, but replace it with an
equivalent device. Repairs may only be carried out by the
manufacturer.
Install the device in a suitable housing with a suitable degree
of protection in accordance with IEC 60529 in order to
protect it from mechanical and electrical damage.
For the safety data, please refer to the operating instructions
and certificates (EC examination certificate, other
approvals, if necessary).
4.2 Safety regulations for installation in potentially
explosive areas
Regulations for intrinsically safe circuits
Installation in zone 2
Observe the specified conditions for use in potentially
explosive areas.
Installation in areas with a danger of dust explosions
Connection to the intrinsically safe circuit in areas with
a danger of dust explosions (zones 20, 21, and 22) is
only permitted if the equipment connected to this circuit is
approved for this zone (e.g., category 1D, 2D or 3D).
4.3 Use in safety-related applications (SIL 2)
When using the MACX MCR-EX-SL-RPSSI-I(-SP) in
safety-related applications, observe the instructions in
Section 7, as the requirements differ for safety-related
functions.
NOTE: Installation, operation, and maintenance
may only be carried out by qualified specialist
personnel.
NOTE: The circuits inside the device must not be
accessed.
NOTE: The device is suitable for IP20 degree of
protection if:
– It is installed outside potentially explosive
areas.
– The environment is clean and dry.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
When carrying out measurements on the
intrinsically safe side, be sure to observe the
relevant regulations regarding the connection of
intrinsically safe equipment.
Only use devices approved for use in
intrinsically safe circuits.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
If the device has been used in
non-intrinsically safe circuits, it must not be
used again in intrinsically safe circuits. Clearly
label the module as being non-intrinsically safe.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
The device is associated equipment of the "Ex-i"
protection type and suitable for installation in
zone 2.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Install the device in a suitable housing with a
minimum of IP54 degree of protection.
Observe the requirements of IEC 60079-14/
EN 60079-14, e.g., steel housing with a wall
thickness of 3 mm.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Disconnect the block power supply before:
– Snapping it on or disconnecting it
– Connecting or disconnecting cables of
non-intrinsically safe circuits
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Only use category 3G modules (ATEX 94/9/EC).
WARNING: Explosion hazard
The device is not designed for installation in
areas with a danger of dust explosions.
