Safety instructions

2.1

Intended use

The SIMATIC HMI hygienic HMI devices are designed for high-performance visualization tasks
(operator control and monitoring) and ambient conditions such as those found in the food &
beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
The devices are generally designed for use near open processes (according to DIN EN 1672-2)
and are intended primarily for use in splash zones.
Any use that deviates from this intended use is prohibited. Also see the information in the
section "Cleaning the device (Page 39)".
Special attention was given in the design of the HMI devices to ensuring that the front panel
is easy to clean and, if necessary, disinfect. The devices were therefore developed based
on EN 1672-2 "Food processing machinery - Hygiene and cleanability requirements".
