Introduction
2
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
All lasers used within the leak detection system are of class 1. The emitted laser light is
invisible (mid-infrared) and the pulse duration so short that the unprotected eye will
not be damaged. The nature of the laser beam path and beam width furthers ensures
that it should be impossible to cause any eye damage. The leak detection system has
warning labels at appropriate positions according to USA 21 CFR 1040.10.
1.3
Certifications and approvals
All in zone parts comply with the ATEX directive (94/9/EC).
This leak detector complies with USA 21 CFR 1040.10. It is
also designed and manufactured under an approved
quality management system to ISO 9001:2008.
1.4
System overview
The aerosol leak detector is used on aerosol production lines in conjunction with a
control and reject mechanism, to form the aerosol leak detection system, which is
used to manage the interaction with the line and the safe removal of faulty cans at
high speed. The system consists of a detector, control console (non-ATEX), encoder,
optical gates, rejecter (air based reject as standard), reject chute, air preparation
equipment, and mounting mechanics.
