Special Safety Instructions for the PowerView4

   

Explosion hazard!

The following operations may only be executed providing the environment is classified as non-explosive:

  • Establishing and terminating communications via PowerView4 interfaces and connections.
  • Inserting and removing memory cards.

   

Risk of destruction and injury!

The PowerView4 is an electrically operated device, and there is the risk of electrostatic discharges. Therefore, never operate the device without the appropriate grounding, to prevent injuries and damage.

   

Risk of injury!

The PowerView4 is designed for operation in circuits with protected extra-low voltage (PELV). The voltages in these circuits must not exceed 50 V AC or 75 V DC.

The PowerView4 must not be electrically connected to circuits which carry dangerously high voltages or which could do so if a single fault occurs.

Therefore, the following conditions, among others, must be fulfilled:

  • The power supply may only be provided from power supply units with safe electrical isolation or from batteries.
  • Relays with safe isolation must be used for coupling to circuits that carry or in the event of a failure could carry dangerous voltage.
  • All currently applicable standards and regulations must be taken into account.

    

Operational safety!

The PowerView4 and the software are not designed for safety-critical applications. The analog and binary inputs and outputs of the PowerView4 system must not be used for safety-critical purposes.

     

Risk of destruction!

It is possible to damage the ignition kit and engine through PowerView4 settings. Consequently, protect your device against unauthorized access.

  • Enable access control.
  • Log out after using the access level employed.

     

Risk of destruction!

When using the PowerView4, observe the following points:

  • Do not let the device fall.
  • The device must not come into contact with water and other liquids.
  • Do not operate the device in direct sunlight, near heat sources or in humid environments.
  • Only operate the device in accordance with the technical specifications.

Disregard of these guidelines can lead to the destruction of the device.

    

Risk of damage and malfunctions!

Safe operation is no longer guaranteed in the following cases:

  • The PowerView4 shows visible damage.
  • The display remains dark or shows unusual patterns for a longer period of time.
  • The screen saver does not turn off when touching the display.
  • The PowerView4 does not react after a restart.

The PowerView4 must then be turned off and must not be used any longer.

     

Risk of destruction!

The surface of the touchscreen is sensitive to pointed and sharp-edged objects. Therefore handle the touchscreen carefully. Pixel errors due to improper handling are excluded from the warranty.
