CAUTION!
These operating instructions include notes and quotes from
German guidelines relating to the system operator's scope of
responsibility. This information does not discharge the oper‐
ator from his responsibility as an operator and is intended
only to remind him or make him aware of specific problem
areas. This information does not lay claim to being complete,
nor applicable to every country and every type of application,
nor to being unconditionally up-to-date.
WARNING!
Only use ATEX pumps in the area at risk from explosion
–
Observe the European Operator Directive 99/92/EC
(ATEX 137), implemented in Germany by the Industrial
Health and Safety Regulation and the German Ordi‐
nance on Hazardous Substances, for the installation and
operation of equipment in areas at risk from explosion.
–
Observe the European standards EN 1127-1, EN
60079-10, EN 60079-14, EN 60079-17 and EN
60079-25 and EN 50039 for inherently safe electrical cir‐
cuits. (In Germany these standards are partly imple‐
mented by VDE 0165 and VDE 0118).
–
Adhere to the respective national regulations outside of
the EU.
–
Ensure that installations in areas at risk from explosion
are checked by a "recognised competent" person. This
applies specifically to intrinsically safe circuits.
–
The following information relates essentially to specifics
in areas at risk from explosion and does not replace the
standard operating instructions.
–
Only clean plastic parts carefully with a damp cloth to
avoid electrostatic charges and sparks.
WARNING!
Warning of dangerous or unknown feed chemical
Should a dangerous or unknown feed chemical be used: It
may escape from the hydraulic components when working
on the pump.
–
Take appropriate protective measures before working on
the pump (e.g. safety glasses, safety gloves, ...).
Observe the safety data sheet for the feed chemical.
–
Drain and flush the liquid end before working on the
pump.
WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
Please ensure when handling hazardous substances that
you have read the latest safety data sheets provided by the
manufacture of the hazardous substance. The actions
required are described in the safety data sheet. Check the
safety data sheet regularly and replace, if necessary, as the
hazard potential of a substance can be re-evaluated at any
time based on new findings.
The system operator is responsible for ensuring that these
safety data sheets are available and that they are kept up to
date, as well as for producing an associated hazard assess‐
ment for the workstations affected.
