Attention

Damage by opening the device

Do not open the Irinos components. They are designed for use without the necessity to open them. The measurement box and/or the measurement system may be damaged. Malfunction or destruction are possible results.

Opening the Irinos components will void the warranty.

Attention

Unintended operating situation

High frequency radiation, e.g. from a mobile phone, can interrupt the device operation and may lead to malfunction of the Irinos-System.

People or material can be injured or damaged.

Avoid high frequency radiation:

oDo not place sources of radiation next to the Irinos measurement system.

oTurn off devices, which are a source of radiation.

oReduce the radio performance of radiation emitting devices.

Ensure the compliance regarding electromagnetic compatibility.

Warning

Electric shock

An insufficient earth grounding and/or electrical separation from the mains can lead to injury or damage of people or machine.

Please note:

oOnly use PELV supply circuits according to IEC60204-1 (Protective Extra-Low Voltage, PELV).

oObserve the additional requirements for PELV supply circuits according to IEC60204-1.

Only use power supplies, which allow a safe separation of the operating voltage and the load voltage according to IEC60204-1.

Warning

Danger at unprotected machinery

For the operation of machinery, the following has to be observed:

At unprotected machinery danger may exist according to the results of a risk analysis. This danger may lead to personal injury.

Personal injury can be avoided according to a risk analysis by the following actions:

oAdditional protection equipment at the machinery. Thereby especially programming, parametrization and wiring of the peripherals must comply with the safety performance (SIL, PL or Cat.), which has been assessed in a risk analysis.

oAppropriate use of the Irinos-System, which is verified by a functional test at the machinery. This allows identifying programming, parametrization or wiring mistakes.

oDocumentation of the test results in the relevant safety documentation.

Attention

Electrostatic sensitive devices

An Irinos-Box contains electrostatic sensitive devices. It is possible that electrostatically sensitive equipment is destroyed by energies and voltages that are far less than the human threshold of perception.

Do not open the Irinos-Box. Thereby you avoid touching the sensitive devices.

Attention

Damage of the Irinos-System by transport and storage

If the Irinos-System is transported or stored without packaging, shocks, vibrations, pressure or moisture may harm the Irinos components. Damaged packaging signals, that environmental conditions have already affected the Irinos components.

The Irinos components and/or the Irinos-System may be damaged.

Do not dispose the original packaging. Proper packaging is required during transport and storage.

Attention

Damage due to condensation

If the Irinos components or the Irinos-System are exposed to low temperatures or high temperature changes, moisture may cover the Irinos-System or the components.

Moisture leads to short circuit and damages the Irinos-System.

To avoid damage, please observe the following advices:

oWait before use, until the temperature of the Irinos-System has adjusted to the surrounding temperature.

oAvoid direct heat radiation next to the Irinos-System.

oIf moisture is present, wait until the Irinos-System has completely dried (approximately 8 hours).

Attention

Environmental conditions and chemical resistance

Environments, which are not appropriate for the Irinos-System, may lead to malfunction. Chemical substances (e.g. cleaning agent) can change the colour, form or structure of the device.

The Irinos-components may be damaged. This may result in malfunction.

Please note:

oOnly use the Irinos-System in closed rooms.

oOnly use the Irinos-System according to the environmental conditions given in the specifications.

oProtect the Irinos-System against dust, moisture and heat.

oDo not place the Irinos-System into direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.

oWithout additional actions, the Irinos-System must not be used in surroundings where caustic vapours or gases are used.

oOnly use appropriate cleaning agents.

Any and all warranty or liability claims are excluded if these regulations are violated.

Inappropriate cleaning agents may damage the device.

Only use washing-up liquid for cleaning. Do not use:

oAggressive solvents and abrasive cleaner

oSteam jet

oCompressed air

oVacuum cleaner

Caution

Unexpected / unintended reaction while cleaning the Irinos-System

If the Irinos-System is in operation while cleaning, this may result in unintended actions. This may lead to personal injury or damage at machinery.

Always turn off the Irinos-System before cleaning.
