Important Notes
Usage for the intended purpose
Use the electrodes NRG 16-19, NRG 16-27, NRG 16-28 and the test chambers VKE 16-1, VKE 16 A and
VKE 26 in conjunction with a suitable detector (e. g. test station NRA 1-3) only for monitoring steam
traps for banking-up of condensate and loss of live steam.
Danger
The measuring electrode, the test chamber and the steam trap are under pressure during
operation.
When loosening the measuring electrode, flanged connections and sealing plugs steam
or hot water might escape.
This presents the danger of severe scalds to the whole body.
Installation and maintenance work should only be carried out when the system is
depressurized (0 bar).
The equipment must be isolated and vented from both upstream and downstream
pressure.
The measuring electrode, test chamber and steam trap become hot during operation.
Touching the hot equipment presents the risk of severe burns to hands and arms.
Installation and maintenance work should only be carried out when the system is cold.
Before servicing the equipment or undoing flanged connections or sealing plugs make
sure that all connected lines are depressurized (0 bar) and cooled down to room tempe-
rature (20 °C).
Sharp edges on internal parts present the danger of cuts to hands.
Always wear industrial gloves when removing the strainer (steam trap).
Safety note
The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified and competent staff.
Retrofitting and maintenance work must only be performed by qualified personnel who – through
adequate training – have achieved a recognised level of competence.
Attention
The name plate specifies the technical features of the equipment. Note that any piece of
equipment without its specific name plate must neither be commissioned nor operated.
