2 Notes on safety
2.1 About this chapter
The product has been manufactured according to the accepted rules of current
technology. Even so, there is danger of injury and damage to equipment if the
following chapter and safety instructions of this documentation are not followed.
1. Read these instructions completely before working with the product.
2. Keep this documentation in a location where it is accessible to all users at all
times.
3. Always include the documentation when you pass the product on to third par-
ties.
2.2 Intended use
The AV-EP pressure regulator is a pneumatic device with integrated electronics
that is only designed to regulate pneumatic pressures. It may be operated only in
the installed state together with the base plate in an AV valve system. Only use
compressed air as the medium. Operation with pure oxygen is not permitted.
The AV-EP pressure regulator is intended for professional use only.
The AV-EP pressure regulator may only be used for industrial applications. An in-
dividual license must be obtained from the authorities or an inspection center for
systems that are to be used in a residential area (residential, business, and com-
mercial areas). In Germany, these individual licenses are issued by the Regulating
Agency for Telecommunications and Post (Regulierungsbehörde für Telekommu-
nikation und Post, Reg TP).
