Safety regulations and operational requirements
3.1 General Safety Principles
The equipment is designed according to the latest technological level and recognized safety regulations, but there may still be residual risks. Operators must read and understand the safety chapters in the operation manual, especially those related to installation and maintenance.
3.2 Personnel Qualifications
Only professionals with knowledge of electrical engineering can carry out installation, operation, maintenance, and repair. Relevant personnel must undergo sufficient training to understand all risks associated with the equipment.
3.3 Prohibited use
It is strictly prohibited to use XV300 for safety related functions such as personal safety protection and mechanical safety interlocking. This type of function must be implemented through external safety relays or safety PLCs.
3.4 Specific Hazard Warning
Explosion hazard: If used in potentially explosive environments (such as ATEX Zone 22), it is necessary to ensure that the equipment is installed correctly, avoid dangerous impacts, and disconnect the power before disconnecting the plug.
