1.5 Recycling and disposal of a rejected
positioner
Most positioner parts can be recycled if sorted according to
material. Most parts have material marking. A material list is
supplied with the positioner. In addition, separate recycling
and disposal instructions are available from the manufac-
turer. A positioner can also be returned to the manufacturer
for recycling and disposal against a fee.

CAUTION:
Do not exceed the positioner performance limitations!
Exceeding the limitations marked on the positioner may
cause damage to the posioner, actuator and valve.
Damage or personal injury may result.
CAUTION:
Do not dismantle a pressurized positioner!
Dismantling a pressurized positioner will result in uncon-
trolled pressure release. Always isolate the relevant part of
the pipeline, release the pressure from the positioner and
the piping.
Failure to do this may result in damage or personal injury.
CAUTION:
Beware of the parts with live voltage!
A voltage, which is normally not dangerous, is supplied to
the positioner. Avoid touching live parts and bare wires
and short circuiting live parts and the housing.
CAUTION:
Beware of the moving parts when positioner is oper-
ated!
