5. INSTALLATION
Installation shall be carried out by suitably-trained personnel in accordance with the applicable code of
practice (e.g. IEC EN 60079-14) and the provisions of the national safety and accident prevention regulations
and this instruction manual.
5.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use the switch only for its intended purpose. Incorrect or impermissible use or noncompliance with these instructions invalidates
our warranty provision. No changes to the switch impairing its explosion protection are permitted. Fit and operate the switch only
if it is clean and undamaged.
The contact element must be replaced after each short-circuit in the switch main circuit. This is because the
device is hermetically sealed and the state of the switching contacts cannot be checked. Any damage can
invalidate the Ex protection.

• Auxiliary Contacts type see topic 4.2.
• Earth-stud (stud, nuts and plain washer) made in brass, iron or in stainless steel AISI 316
