Personnel qualification
GB
Skilled personnel
Skilled personnel are understood to be personnel who, based on their technical training,
knowledge of measurement and control technology and on their experience and knowledge of
country-specific regulations, current standards and directives, are capable of carrying out the work
described and independently recognising potential hazards.
Special operating conditions require further appropriate knowledge, e.g. of aggressive media.

WARNING!
Risk of injury should qualification be insufficient!
Improper handling can result in considerable injury and damage to equipment.
The activities described in these operating instructions may only be carried out by
skilled personnel who have the qualifications described below.
Keep unqualified personnel away from hazardous areas.
WARNING!
Non-observance of these instructions and their contents may result in the loss of
explosion protection.
Battery operation:
■
Use AA size alkaline batteries only! Only replace the batteries outside the
hazardous area!
Operation of the serial interface in the hazardous area is prohibited.

Further hazardous area safety instructions:
Observe the operating information and the relevant country-specific regulations
concerning use in hazardous areas (e.g. EN IEC 60079-14).
The CPH65I0 intrinsically safe hand-held pressure calibrator has been designed for
use in Ex Hazardous Areas. These are areas where potentially flammable or
explosive vapors may occur. These areas are referred to as hazardous (classified)
locations in the United States, as Hazardous Locations in Canada, as Potentially
Explosive Atmospheres in Europe and as Explosive Gas Atmospheres by most of
the rest of the world. The CPH65I0 intrinsically safe hand-held pressure calibrator is
designed as intrinsically safe. This means that connecting the CPH65I0 intrinsically
safe hand-held pressure calibrator to equipment that is used within intrinsically safe
circuits will not cause an ignition capable arc as long as the entity parameters are
suitably matched.
