1 Safety

1.1 Intended use

The device AMBUS® Link is exclusively intended for the configuration, operation and monitoring of M-Bus installations as a total system.

Any improper or inappropriate use might result in a state in which the operational safety of the device cannot be guaranteed anymore. The manufacturer waives any liability for resulting damages of persons and materials.

1.2 Notes on safety instructions and symbols

The devices have been designed to fulfil modern safety requirements. They have been tested and delivered in a condition that ensures safe operation. However, improper or non-intended use of the device may result in it becoming dangerous. Please always pay attention to the safety instructions in this manual which are accompanied by the following symbols:

WARNING

can potentially cause life-threatening injuries and lead to a high safety risk.

ATTENTION

can cause minor to medium severe injuries.

NOTE indicates a dangerous situation which might lead to material damage, if not prevented.

COMMENT provides helpful tips and recommendations as well as information for efficient and trouble-free operation.

1.3 Safety instructions and precautionary measures

The manufacturer takes over no responsibility if the following safety instructions and precautionary measures are disregarded:

1. Changes to the device, which are implemented without prior written approval of the manufacturer, lead to the immediate termination of product liability and warranty.

2. Installation, operation, maintenance, repair and decommissioning of this device must only be performed by specialists authorised by the manufacturer, operator or owner of the device. The specialist needs to read and understand the entire installation and operation manual and is obliged to follow these instructions.

3. Control the supply voltage and information given on the type plate, before the device is installed.

4. Check all connections, settings and technical specifications of any available peripheral devices.

5. Open the housing or parts of the housing, which contain electrical or electronic components, only if the electric energy is turned off.

6. Touch no electronic compo ne nts (ESD sensitivity).

7. Expose the system concerning the mechanical load (pressure, temperature, IP protection etc.) maximally to the specified classification.

8. For works concerning mechanical components of the system, the pressure in the pipe system has to be released or the temperature of the medium needs to be brought to values harmless for humans.

9. No information stated her e or anywhere else releases planners, engineers, fitt er s and operators from their personal careful and comprehensive evaluation of the respective system configuration in terms of functionality and operational safety.

10. The local working and safety standards and statutes need to be met.

1.4 About the operation manual

The manufacturer reserves the right to change the technical details without prior notice. The newest information and versions of this operation manual are available at your local subsidiary or representation as well as on the website.

WARNING

Any liability is waived if the instructions and procedures not followed!

NOTE

thus no basic working steps. Before putting AMBUS® Link or the system into operation, the installation and operation manual needs to be read and understood completely. Keep this manual for later reference!
