EN-9 Minebea Intec
Transmitter in eld housing PR 5230 2 Safety information
2 Safety information
2.1 General information
CAUTION
Warning of personal injury.
This device has been built and tested in compliance with the safety regulations for
measuring and control equipment for protection class I (protective grounding
conductor) according to IEC 1010/EN 61010 or VDE 0411.
The product was in perfect condition with regard to safety features when it left the
factory.
To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, the user must follow the
instructions and observe the warnings in this manual.
2.2 Intended use
The instrument is intended for use as an indicator for weighing functions.
Product operation, commissioning and maintenance must be performed by trained and
qualied personnel who are aware of and able to deal with the related hazards and take
suitable measures for self-protection.
The device reects the state of the art.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damage caused by third-party system
components or due to incorrect use of the product. The use of this product signies
recognition of the stipulations listed above.
2.3 Incoming goods inspection
Check the contents of the consignment for completeness. Check the contents visually to
determine whether any damage has occurred during transport. If there are grounds for
rejection of the goods, a claim must be led with the carrier immediately. A Minebea Intec
sales or service organization must also be notied.
2.4 Before operational startup
NOTICE
Perform visual inspection!
Before operational startup as well as after storage or transport, inspect the device
visually for signs of mechanical damage.
2.4.1 Installation
The device has to be installed in an EMC-compliant manner, see Chapter 4.3.
The housing of the device complies with IP66.
Mount the instrument with the cable entry glands pointing downwards.
To ensure proper cooling of the instrument, make sure air circulation around the
instrument is not blocked. Avoid exposing the instrument to excessive heat, e.g.,from
Minebea Intec EN-10
2 Safety information Transmitter in eld housing PR 5230
direct sunlight, and vibrations. The ambient conditions in Chapter 17.4.1 must be taken
into account at all times.
With outdoor mounting, make sure that adequate weather protection is provided (for
temperatures, see Chapter 17.4.1).
2.4.2 Opening the device
WARNING
Working on the device while it is switched on may have life-threatening
consequences.
When removing covers or parts using tools, live parts or terminals may be exposed.
Please note that capacitors in the device may still be charged even after disconnecting
the device from all voltage sources.
Disconnecting the device from the power supply.
This device contains electrostatically sensitive components. For this reason, an
equipotential bonding conductor must be connected when working on the open device
(antistatic protection).
2.4.3 Supply voltage connection
The device has no power switch. It is ready for operation immediately after connecting to
a power supply.
2.4.3.1 Version 230 V AC
2.4.3.2 Version 24 V DC
Safe interruption of both supply voltage conductors must be
provided for, either by disconnecting the power connector or
using a separate switch.
The device is equipped with a wide range power supply and
covers AC systems with a frequency of 50/60 Hz and a voltage range of 100240 V AC +10/-15% automatically (without
manual selection).
