2. Safety information
2.1 General requirements
The flawless and safe operation of the SP200 positioners is reliant on proper
transportation, storage, installation and commissioning by qualified personnel, proper
use and careful maintenance.
Prior to installing, using or maintaining the positioner, consideration should be given to:
- The working environment.
- Safe access.
- Lighting.
- Pipeline fluid hazards.
- Temperature.
- System isolation.
- Location.
The SP200 positioner should be mounted with sufficient space to allow opening of
the hinged cover and to provide access for electrical and air connections. When
fitting to an actuator, ensure that the positioner will not be exposed to an ambient
temperature outside
the range of -10°C to +80°C. The positioner enclosure is rated
to
IP65 (see BS EN 60534-1 1998).
2.2 Electrical safety requirements
The SP200 is a class III product which must only be powered from Safe Extra Low
Voltage (SELV) sources whether by virtue of a 4 - 20 mA control signal or from a
separate power supply. Similarly all signal circuits connected to an options board must
operate within the confines of SELV systems. All associated wiring must be separated
from other wiring containing hazardous voltages.
2.3 Electromagnetic compatibility
The product complies with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89 / 336 EEC
by meeting standards EN 5008-1 (Emissions) and EN 50082-2 (Industrial Immunity).
This product may be affected by interference above the limits within EN 50082-2 if:
- The product or its wiring is located near a radio transmitter. The actual separation
necessary will vary according to the power of the transmitter.
- Cellular telephones or mobile radios are used within approximately one metre of
the product or its wiring.
- The wiring is routed alongside power cables subject to high voltage transients or
current surges.
