2. AUTHORIZED USE
Incorrect use of the device can be dangerous to people, nearby equipment and the environment.
The device is designed for the open-loop control and closed-loop control of media.
▶If using the device in the potentially explosive area, observe the specifications on the additional plate for Ex
devices.
▶Devices which do not have an additional plate for Ex devices must not be used in the potentially explosive
area.
▶The device must not be exposed to direct sunlight.
▶Pulsating direct voltage (rectified alternating voltage without smoothing) must not be used as operating
voltage.
▶During use observe the permitted data, the operating conditions and conditions of use specified in the con-
tract documents and operating instructions, as described in chapter “Description of System” - “11. Technical
data” in this manual and in the valve manual for the respective pneumatically actuated valve.
▶The device may be used only in conjunction with third-party devices and components recommended and
authorised by EBRO.
▶In view of the wide range of possible application cases, check whether the device is suitable for the specific
application case and check this out if required.
▶Correct transportation, correct storage and installation and careful use and maintenance are essential for reli-
able and faultless operation.
▶Use the Type device only as intended.
2.1. Restrictions
If exporting the system/device, observe any existing restrictions.

3. BASIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
These safety instructions do not make allowance for any
• contingencies and events which may arise during the installation, operation and maintenance of the devices.
• local safety regulations – the operator is responsible for observing these regulations, also with reference to the
installation personnel.
Danger – high pressure.
▶Before loosening the pneumatic lines and valves, turn off the pressure and vent the pneumatic lines.
Risk of electric shock.
▶Before reaching into the device or the equipment, switch off the power supply and secure to prevent
reactivation.
▶Observe applicable accident prevention and safety regulations for electrical equipment.
Risk of burns/risk of fire if used continuously through hot device surface.
▶Keep the device away from highly flammable substances and media and do not touch with bare hands.
General hazardous situations.
To prevent injury, ensure that:
▶That the system cannot be activated unintentionally.
▶Installation and repair work may be carried out by authorised technicians only and with the appropriate tools.
▶After an interruption in the power supply or pneumatic supply, ensure that the process is restarted in a defined
or controlled manner.
▶The device may be operated only when in perfect condition and in consideration of the operating instructions.
▶Do not supply the supply pressure connection of the system with aggressive or flammable mediums.
▶Do not supply the supply pressure connection with any liquids.
▶Do not put any loads on the housing (e.g. by placing objects on it or standing on it).
▶Do not make any external modifications to the device housings. Do not paint the housing parts or screws.
▶The general rules of technology apply to application planning and operation of the device.
NOTE!
Electrostatic sensitive components / modules.
The device contains electronic components which react sensitively to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Contact
with electrostatically charged persons or objects is hazardous to these components. In the worst case scenario,
they will be destroyed immediately or will fail after start-up.
• Observe the requirements in accordance with EN 61340-5-1 to minimise or avoid the possibility of damage
caused by sudden electrostatic discharge.
• Also ensure that you do not touch electronic components when the operating voltage is present.
The device were developed with due consideration given to the accepted safety rules and are state-of-the-
art. Nevertheless, dangerous situations may occur.
Failure to observe this operating manual and its operating instructions as well as unauthorized tampering with
the device release us from any liability and also invalidate the warranty covering the devices and accessories.

4. USE IN THE EX AREA
4.1. Basic safety instructions for use in the Ex area
DANGER!
Risk of explosion.
To prevent the risk of explosion, observe not only the basic safety instructions in the respective operating
instructions for operation in the Ex area, but also the following:
▶Installation, operation and maintenance may be performed by qualified technicians only.
▶Observe the applicable safety regulations (also national safety regulations) as well as the general rules of
technology for construction and operation.
▶Do not repair the device yourself, but replace it with an equivalent device. Repairs may be performed by the
manufacturer only.
▶Do not expose the device to any mechanical and/or thermal loads which will exceed the limits described in the
operating instructions.
4.2. Safety instructions for the installation and
maintenance of Ex devices
DANGER!
Risk of explosion.
To prevent the risk of explosion, observe the following during installation and maintenance in the Ex area:
▶Do not open the device housing.
▶To avoid electrostatic charges, clean the housing surface with a damp cloth only.
▶Secure cable connections, which use circular connectors, with suitable locking clips.
(For example: EXCLIP, FA. Phoenix Contact, Type SAC-M12-EXCLIP-M, Art. no. 1558988 or
Type SAC-M12-EXCLIP-F, Art. no. 1558991.
▶Use only cable and line entry points which have been approved for the respective application area and which
have been screwed into place according to the associated installation instructions.
▶Install pre-assembled cable glands according to the installation instructions supplied by the gland manufacturer.
Before start-up in the Ex area, check whether the cable gland, as described in the associated installation
instructions, has been installed.
▶Close all unnecessary cable glands with lock screws approved for the explosions area.
Maintenance: If installation is performed carefully, maintenance will not be required.
