Intended use
The EV03 pressure regulator is a pneumatic device with integrated electronics that
is only designed to regulate pneumatic pressures. It may be operated only in the
installed state together with the base plate. Only use compressed air as the medium.
Operation with pure oxygen is not permitted.
The EV03 pressure regulator is intended for professional use only.
The EV03 pressure regulator may only be used for industrial applications.
An individual license must be obtained from the authorities or an inspection center
for systems that are to be used in a residential area (residential, business,
and commercial areas). In Germany, these individual licenses are issued by the
Regulating Agency for Telecommunications and Post (Regulierungsbehörde für
Telekommunikation und Post, Reg TP).
