3.5       Faults and Troubleshooting  

 Faults can occur during the self-check, setting-to-work, purge as well as during normal operation. 

For the installation, maintenance and cleaning of the units, it is absolutely 
necessary to observe the applicable ordinances and provisions concerned 
with explosion protection (VDE 0160, VDE 0165 or EN 60079-14, EN 50014-
50039) as well as the Accident Prevention Regulations (UVV). 

 

Installation, maintenance and cleaning  of the units must only be performed 
by persons trained and authorized for this purpose, insofar as  they are 
familiar with the units. 

 

If it can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, switch off the 
unit and secure it against renewed switching-on. 

 
The faults described in Table 1 are detected by the system during the self-check. These faults stop 
the system from starting the purge process.
