Basic safety notes
There is a danger to life from scalding if the conductivity electrode is removed under
pressure. Steam or hot water can spurt forcefully out of the equipment.
■
■
Only remove the conductivity electrode at
0 bar boiler pressure
.
There is a risk of severe burns when working on conductivity electrodes that have not
been allowed to cool. The conductivity electrode becomes very hot during operation.
■
■
Always allow the conductivity electrode to cool.
■
■
Perform all installation and maintenance work only on conductivity electrodes that have
been allowed to cool.
There is a danger to life from electric shock when working on electrical systems.
■
■
Always switch off the voltage to the system before performing connection work.
■
■
Check that the system is not carrying live voltage before commencing work.
Danger to life from faulty LRG 1x-6x conductivity electrodes due to the sudden escape of
hot steam or hot water.
Impacts or knocks during transportation or installation can cause the 1x-6x conductivity elec-
trodes to become damaged, whereby hot steam or hot water can escape through the pressure
relief hole.
■
■
Avoid damage, for example from strong knocks to the electrode rods,
during transportation and installation.
■
■
Before and after installation, check that the conductivity electrode is completely undam-
aged. When bringing it into service, check that it is leak-tight.
Attempts to repair the equipment will cause the system to become unsafe.
■
■
LRG 1x-6x conductivity electrodes may only be repaired by the manufacturer, GESTRA AG.
■
■
Only replace faulty equipment with identical equipment from GESTRA AG.
