The SLF6-Series load cells have the following approvals for operation in hazardous areas:
Hazardous area
Category 2
Category 3
Special care must be taken when using weighing systems in hazardous areas. The code of practice is
oriented to the "Safe Distribution" concept drawn up by METTLER TOLEDO.
Please also observe the following rules for hazardous area:
Competence
The weighing system may only be installed, maintained and repaired by authorized
•
METTLER TOLEDO service personnel.
The mains supply may only be installed by a specialist authorized by the owner/
•
operator.
Ex Approval
No modifications may be made to the device and no repair work may be performed on
•
the modules. Any weighing platforms or system modules that are used must comply
with the specifications. Non-compliant equipment jeopardizes the intrinsic safety of the
system, cancels the Ex approval and renders any warranty or product liability claims
null and void.
The safety of the weighing system is only guaranteed when the weighing system is
•
operated, installed and maintained in accordance with the respective instructions.
Also comply with the following:
•
– the instructions for the system modules,
– the relevant national regulations and standards,
– the applicable statutory requirements for electrical equipment installed in hazardous
areas in the respective country,
– all instructions related to safety issued by the owner.
The explosion-proof weighing system must be checked to ensure compliance with the
•
safety requirements before being put into service for the first time, following any service
work and at least every 3 years.
Operation
Prevent the build-up of static electricity. Always wear suitable working clothes when
•
operating or performing service work in hazardous areas.
Do not use protective covers with the devices.
•
Prevent damage to the system components.
