4.1 ATEX - Special conditions
WARNING
Observe the special conditions for the intended use of
Beckhoff fieldbus components in potentially explosive areas (directive
94/9/EU)!
 The certified components are to be installed in a suitable housing that guar-
antees a protection class of at least IP54 in accordance with EN 60529! The
environmental conditions during use are thereby to be taken into account!
 If the temperatures during rated operation are higher than 70°C at the feed-
in points of cables, lines or pipes, or higher than 80°C at the wire branching
points, then cables must be selected whose temperature data correspond
to the actual measured temperature values!
 Observe the permissible ambient temperature range of 0 - 55°C for the use
of Beckhoff fieldbus components in potentially explosive areas!
 Measures must be taken to protect against the rated operating voltage be-
ing exceeded by more than 40% due to short-term interference voltages!
 The individual terminals may only be unplugged or removed from the Bus
Terminal system if the supply voltage has been switched off or if a non-
explosive atmosphere is ensured!
 The connections of the certified components may only be connected or dis-
connected if the supply voltage has been switched off or if a non-explosive
atmosphere is ensured!
 The fuses of the KL92xx power feed terminals may only be exchanged if
the supply voltage has been switched off or if a non-explosive atmosphere
is ensured!
 Address selectors and ID switches may only be adjusted if the supply volt-
age has been switched off or if a non-explosive atmosphere is ensured!
