Safety instructions
For P pumps only
If loss of purge flow creates a significant risk, then the purge
flow must be monitored externally and a response to loss of
purge flow must be provided by the process equipment and
interlocked if necessary.
If pyrophoric materials above the LEL are sent to the pump
then nitrogen should be supplied at a rate to ensure that
concentration is diluted to be below the LEL, in addition an
interlock should be provided to ensure that gas flow to the
pump is stopped when nitrogen is lost.
If loss of cooling water creates a significant risk, then the
water flow must be monitored externally by the process
equipment.
If any corrosive, reactive, flammable, pyrophloric, oxidizing
processes can be sent to the pump, then an exhaust monitor
should be used in the secondary exhaust to ensure that gas
flow to the pump is stopped when secondary exhaust is lost.
In addition an interlock should be provided to ensure that gas
flow to the pump is stopped when nitrogen is lost.
If flammable materials are sent to the pump, the customer will
need to provide a hardware based LEL detection in the
secondary exhaust (capable of detecting at 25% of the LEL)
that will stop chemical supply to the pump when gas is
detected at 25% of LEL for that flammable material.
When the pump is switched off, internal parts (monitoring,
frequency converter) contain capacitors charged with over
60 VDC and remain energized.
Electrical shock may result in severe injury.
Wait 1 minute after switching off before opening the pump.
Operating conditions may generate temperatures justifying
particular attention on the part of the user (external surfaces
> 70
°
C on exhaust connections).
Contact may cause burns.
Always use gloves before servicing.
