l) The following applies in ATEX areas requiring category 3 equipment: It must be
installed in a housing that corresponds to the requirements for impacts and IP
protection in accordance with EN 60079-15 (gas explosion protection) or
EN 61241-0 and EN 61241-1 (dust explosion protection).
m) These devices are "low-energy instruments and devices" in accordance with
paragraph 13 of EN 60079-15. The requirements in sub-section c) (transient
limitation to 40% above the nominal voltage) must be observed during
installation.

Commissioning, installation
Install the Bus module in a superior system. The required cleaning intervals for
the equipment (dust deposits) depend on the IP protection class. Ensure that the
device is only fitted with ignition protection complying with the respective zones/
categories! Always observe the nationally valid installation guidelines (e.g.
EN 60079-14). Other important facts:
a) The devices are designed for protection class IP 54 and may require further
protection if used under more adverse ambient conditions. See also subsection
l) in section "General information on explosion protection".
b) Note the declaration of conformity and the special conditions listed therein.
c) To ensure explosion protection, associated electrical and mechanical
equipment must correspond to the requirements of the applicable zones on
site and must be checked separately by the person installing the machine.
d) The device may only be used as intended.
e) Electrostatic charges and/or insulated metal parts must be avoided.
Only clean with a damp cloth!
f) If located in an explosive area, tight parts (e.g. due to frost or corrosion) may
not be removed violently.
g) Protect against unauthorized opening and attach a sign stating "Do not
disconnect under power".
h) Tighten the nuts on the connection plug with a torque of at least 0.6 Nm.
i) If vibrations occur during operation which could loosen the plugs, secure them
with threadlocker. A separation force of at least 0.6–2.5 Nm must be achieved
on an equivalent M12 thread.
j) An open or not securely closed plug must not be energized in explosive areas!
