Risk of explosion
You must fulfill the following conditions before supplying auxiliary power to the positioner in
potentially hazardous areas:
• The installed electronic unit has been approved.
• The enclosure of the positioner is closed.
• The duct openings for electronic connections must be closed. Only use the Ex d certified
cable entries or sealing plugs.
• You must install an ignition trap if you use a "conduit piping system". The maximum
distance between the ignition trap and the positioner housing is 46 cm or 18").
The module cover ① protects and fixes the optional modules mechanically. Proceed as
follows for the preparations for installation:
1. Disconnect the power supply lines or de-energize them.
2. Open the safety catch ⑫. Unscrew the screw cap ⑥.
3. Unlatch the four fixing screws ⑪.
4. Remove the entire adapter ⑦. If required, rotate the positioner until the coupling can be
detached easily.
5. Unscrew the both fixing screws ② using a screwdriver.
