 Attention:
To make it easier to loosen the screws, they should be preheated with a hot air dryer.
It is imperative that a screwdriver is selected which corresponds to the size of the screw
head. As it is to be expected that the screws are difficult to loosen despite preheating, there
is the danger that the screw heads can be destroyed.
The following sizes must be used for the corresponding device variant:
EX-S standard version: PZ2
EX-S High or low temperature version, EXRE: PH2

After the service work on the exchange flange have been finished according to the
respective named chapters, the screws must be fixed with a Logtite.
Care must be taken to ensure a high strength as well as a sufficient temperature
specification of the screw securing position.

It is necessary to use a screw safety lacquer which meets the following technical
characteristics:

Suitable for: threads up to M36

Temperature resistance: -55 ° C - 150 ° C
Strength: medium
Safety information GHS / Hazard description: GHS07: Caution
