5 Installation
CAUTION
Fault as a result of soiling, foreign matter or damage to the device!
Foreign matter, such as scale, burrs, chips, etc. can restrict the flow or enter the pipe
system and cause malfunctions or damage to components, including gaskets. That can
result in hazards that endanger the functional safety of the device.
There is a risk of minor or moderate injuries.
The following measures must be observed before installing the device for the first time,
and also when installing it after retooling work on the plant in which the device is
installed:
All supply and return lines for the cleaning medium must be flushed with clear water
in order to remove any contamination, foreign objects or residue in the supply line
(e.g. scale, chippings, welding particles etc.).
Prevent dirt and foreign matter from entering the device through appropriate
measures. Install a filter upstream of the media connection [MC] in the supply line for
the cleaning medium (see
Section 3.4 Cleaning
Protect the sealing element from damage.
Protect the weld-on ends with end caps.
Protect the clamp connection from contamination.
Protect the locking cylinder against shocks.
Do not apply any paint to the surface of the device.
Please also note:
If the device is used outdoors or in rooms where there is a risk of frost, it must be protected against
freezing.
The devices must not be equipped with thermal isolation.
The pipe or hose connections and the cleaning media connection [MC] must be firmly fastened and
have a permanently tight design (hazard due to fluid being expelled in the event of leaks).
After assembly, it must be ensured that all parts of the device have a conductive connection with the
container and are grounded (leak resistance versus ground RE < 10
6
Ohm).
The spray heads may only be operated with the corresponding locking pins from the manufacturer.
When replacing a spray head, a new locking pin must be used.
