Unpack the equipment, taking care not to damage it, and ensure that the operating manual is always stored with the equipment and is easily accessible. Check the contents for completeness and verify that the device type meets your application requirements.
Scope of Supply
The scope of supply of the DetCon consists of the following components:
Installation locations where strong vibrations or ambient temperatures other than those specified in section Mechanical Data are present are not permissible and result in the warranty being voided.
Explosion hazard! In order to prevent the connection terminals from falling out or loosening, securing brackets have to be mounted on the DetCon detonation controller in potentially explosive atmospheres. There is a risk of sparking. |
Explosion hazard! The device may in potentially explosive atmospheres only be installed and operated in an environment that ensures pollution degree 2 (or better, risk of leakage currents) according to IEC/EN 60664-1. There is a risk of sparking. |
Explosion hazard! Do not disconnect while circuit is live unless area is known to be non-hazardous. There is a risk of sparking. For information on wiring, please refer to the section Wiring of the Device. |
Use in potentially explosive atmospheres! Safety barriers are connected to the CAN bus connections, as well as the detonation sensors of the ATEX certified DetCon. Do not remove them, as they provide an additional explosion protection. In some DetCon versions the safety barrier of the CAN bus connection is directly installed on the board and thus not visible. |
Risk of destruction! On installation of the device, observe that no vibrations occur and temperatures are not exceeded during operation. Otherwise electronic components can be destroyed. Refer to the section Mechanical Data. |
Use of ferrules For connecting the leads to the DetCon detonation controller use ferrules to protect the stripped ends. |
