2.9 PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
•
Every time the pressure device is started up, all safety equipment must fi rst be correctly
fi tted and in working order.
•
Protective devices and safety equipment must only be removed after the pressure device
or system has been put out of operation and the pressure device has been secured
against re-starting.
•
When partial components are supplied the operating authority must ensure that the safety
equipment is fi tted correctly.
2.10 SYSTEM CONTROLLER
•
Never make alterations to the programme!
•
The controller must be operated by trained personnel only.
2.11 SAFETY MEASURES IN NORMAL OPERATION
•
Before switching on the pressure device, ensure that no-one can be put in a situation of
danger due to the pressure device start-up.
•
Check the pressure device for leaks and correct function of safety equipment at least
once annually.
2.12 DANGER FROM ELECTRICITY
•
Have work on electrical components, display units and control units carried out only by a
trained electrician.
•
Check the electrical equipment of the system regularly.
•
Rectify loose connections and damaged cable immediately.
•
The switch cabinet and the electrical units must be kept closed. Access is restricted to
authorized personnel with key or tools.
•
If work must be carried out on live components, a second person must be present to
switch off the main switch if necessary.
2.13 DANGER FROM PRESSURE
•
Sections of the system and pressure lines which are to be opened must be depressurized
before starting repair work.
•
Check fl exible hose lines at appropriate intervals. Replace them even if defects relevant
to safety are not found.
•
External infl ences such as high temperatures, heat radiation, impact and similar can
cause gas cylinders or pressurized parts of the system to heat up excessively or burst.
Please take the appropriate precautionary and safety measures.
2.14 ARTICULAR DANGERS FROM OUTWARD LEAKAGE
•
If very hazardous, hazardous or slightly hazardous gases are used, leaks from the pressure
device can cause danger to life and limb of the user.
•
Therefore, a directive according to § 20 GefStoffV, a current EU safety data sheet according
to § 14 GefStoffV and accident instructions with information for the doctor must be kept
at a suitable place.
•
Operators must be informed of the particular dangers associated with the gas and of any
personal or other protective measures.
2.15 INFORMATION ON SPECIAL GAS TYPES
•
All parts which come into contact with oxygen must be absolutely free of oil and grease,
danger of fi re and explosion!
•
Use only lubricants with oxygen approval.
•
With acetylene, do not use pipework or system components made of copper! Note the
particular dangers associated with acetylene!
