4.4 Process- dependent hazards
CAUTION
!
Harmful hydrocarbons!
Harmful hydrocarbons can exist in the ductwork.
For example:
- Hydrocarbons and other particles which are toxic or otherwise dangerous to health.
- Particles which are contained in high-temperature gases.
As long as the process conditions are not absolutely safe, corresponding preventive measures must be
undertaken, such as the use of a respiratory mask or purging/detoxification of the ductwork, prior to any
intervention in the ductwork for maintenance or installation purposes.
Ensure that the ductwork is pressureless prior to carrying out any installation or dismantling works. If you are
unsure in certain cases, please contact the responsible safety representative on location and/or read the local
safety regulations.
DANGER !
Release of hazardous substances!
Inadmissible gases can lead to health damage and poisoning.
METPOINT
®
OCV must only be operated with compressed air, free from aggressive, corrosive, caustic, toxic,
flammable and fire-accelerating constituents. Measurements in aggressive, corrosive, caustic, toxic,
flammable and fire-accelerating media are not allowed.
5 Field of application and proper use of the METPOINT
®
OCV
The METPOINT
®
OCV devices serve for the stationary measurement and monitoring of the vaporous and gaseous
residual oil content in compressed air (ISO 8573:2001). Any other use is considered improper.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for the consequences of improper use; the user alone is responsible for all risks
that may arise.
The proper employment and use of the METPOINT
®
OCV according to directions requires the exact compliance with
the installation instructions, in particular in respect of:
• The place of installation, installation conditions
• The supply voltage and frequency
• The pressure, temperature and humidity of the inlet air
• The ambient temperature
The device is supplied as accepted in the factory. The user only needs to establish the connections with the supply
mains and interconnect the components, which is described in the following chapters.
WARNING!
Employment for the prevention of dangerous conditions!
A device of the METPOINT
®
OCV series must not be employed as the sole means of preventing dangerous
conditions at machines and plants.
Machines and plants must be constructed in such a manner that defective conditions do not lead to a
dangerous situation for persons or plants.
WARNING!
Improper use!
The METPOINT
®
OCV measuring devices offer state-of-the-art technology and are operationally safe.
Residual risks may emanate from the measuring device when improperly employed and operated by
untrained personnel.
