Warnings and Safety Precautions
Note:
Improper use or handling can result in damage and/or injury.
The scale may be installed and operated by qualified person-
nel only. Make sure you observe the warnings and safety pre-
cautions in their entirety during installation and operation, as
well as while performing maintenance and repair work on the
equipment. All laws, regulations, standards, accident preven-
tion rules and environmental protection requirements applica-
ble in your country must be followed.
It is important that all personnel using the equipment under-
stand these warnings and safety precautions, and have access
to the relevant documents at all times. Furthermore, the warn-
ings and safety information supplied with any electrical equip-
ment connected, such as peripheral devices, must be observed
as well. These warnings and safety precautions may have to
be supplemented by the equipment operator. All operating
personnel must be informed of any additions to these instruc-
tions.
Make sure the equipment is accessible at all times.
General Provisions for Installing Midrics Models Equipped
with Option Y2
Midrics models equipped with Option Y2 meet the require-
ments of EU Directive 2014/34/EU for Group II devices and
are suitable for use in zone 2 and 22 hazardous areas in
accordance with the declaration of conformity (see "Manufac-
turer's Certificate": SIS14ATEX004X/5X/6X at the end of this
manual). Furthermore, Midrics models meet the EC Directives
for electromagnetic compatibility (see "EU Declaration of Con-
formity" in the main manual).
– The area of use for which Midrics models are intended is
defined in the documents supplied. Make sure the restrictions
defined in those documents are observed. Operation outside
of these restrictions is not permitted, and is considered use of
the equipment for other than its intended purpose. Make sure
the safety instructions described in the drawing (for details,
see "Documents": Drawing no. 36418-740-16) are followed.
– Before connecting or disconnecting data cables, control lines
or measuring lines to or from the device, make sure all equip-
ment is disconnected from power.
– If the equipment housing is opened by anyone other than per-
sons authorized by Minebea Intec , this will negate its con-
formity with regulations governing use in the stated Zone 2
and 22 hazardous areas and result in forfeiture of all claims
under the manufacturer's
warranty.
