IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions prior to installing, operating, and servicing this product.
Follow all warnings, cautions, and instructions marked on and supplied with this product.
Inspect the equipment packing case and if damage exists, notify your local carrier for liability.
Open the packing list and carefully remove equipment and spare or replacement parts
from the case. Inspect all equipment for damage and missing parts.
If items are missing, contact your local Product Services Department representative or
the sales office. Provide the equipment serial number and sales order number to the Product Services Department or sales representative.
All returned equipment or parts must have an RMA (Returned Materials Authorization) form obtained from the Products Services Department. Complete the Customer Problem Report or include a letter describing the problem and corrective action to be performed at the factory.
Phone: 1 (713) 827-5033
Physically attach the RMA, corrective action documentation, and a copy of the packing
list to the equipment and place inside the shipping case. An envelope with a copy of the packing list may be attached to the outside of the shipping case. Send to the address shown above.
Install equipment as specified per the installation instructions and per applicable local and
national codes. All connections shall be made to proper electrical and pressure sources.
Ensure that all equipment doors are closed and protective covers are in place, except
when maintenance is being performed by qualified persons, to prevent personal injury.
Use of this product for any purpose other than its intended purpose may result in property
damage and/or serious injury or death.
Before opening the flameproof enclosure in a flammable atmosphere, the electrical
circuits must be interrupted.
Repairs must be performed using only authorized replacement parts as specified by the
manufacturer. Use of unauthorized parts can affect the product's performance and place the safe operation of the product at risk.
When installing or servicing ATEX certified units, the ATEX approval applies only to
equipment without cable glands. When mounting the flameproof enclosures in a hazardous area, only flameproof cable glands certified to IEC 60079-1 must be used.
