Basic Safety Instructions
2.1 General
information
WARNING !
Warning notices must be observed. Disregarding them may lead to damage to health
and property.
The biovac 106 safety aspiration-system must be operated by personnel who can detect im-
pending dangers and take action to prevent them from materialising.
The manufacturer or authorized authorised workshops will only service or maintain the safety
aspiration-system if it is accompanied by a fully completed damage report. Precise informa-
tion about the contamination (also negative information if necessary) and thorough cleaning
of the system are legally binding parts of the contract.
Contaminated safety aspiration-system and their individual parts must be disposed of in ac-
cordance with the legal regulations.
The local regulations apply in foreign countries.
2.2 Electricity
The safety aspiration-systems are supplied for operating mode S1. Please note that the test-
ing must be repeated in accordance with DIN EN 0105, DIN EN 0702 and BGV A2 in case of
portable devices.
The local regulations apply in foreign countries.
Please note the following when connecting to the electrical power supply system:
•
The electrical power supply system must have a protective connector according to DIN
VDE 0100-410 (IEC 60364-4-41).
•
The protective connector must not have any breaks.
•
The connecting cable must not be damaged.
2.3 Mechanical
System
Improper use can lead to injuries or material damage. Observe the following instructions:
•
Only operate the safety aspiration-system with hoses of the specified dimensions.
•
Solid particles in the pumping medium impair the pumping action and can lead to dam-
age. Prevent their penetrating into the pump.
•
Hazardous substances must be separated out as far as this is technically possible before
they reach the pump.
•
External mechanical stresses and vibrations must not be transmitted to the system. Only
use a flexible laboratory hose for connecting the safety aspiration-system.
•
The overpressure generated at the pressure port must not exceed 1 bar.
•
The pump must not be used to pump liquids.
•
Set the safety aspiration-system on a flat and horizontal surface.
•
Do not close the space beyond the bottom of the device in order to enable the pump to
cool.
