Warning

This product complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004 / 108 / EC 

and all its requirements. 

This product is suitable for Heavy Industrial Environments. A fully detailed EMC 

assessment has been made and has the reference number UK Supply BH PA420.  

The product may be exposed to interference above the limits of Heavy Industrial 

Immunity if: 

The product or its wiring is located near a radio transmitter. 

Excessive electrical noise occurs on the mains supply. Power line protectors (ac)

  should be installed if mains supply noise is likely. Protectors can combine 

  filtering, suppression, surge and spike arrestors.  

Cellular telephones and mobile radios may cause interference if used within 

  approximately 1 metre (39") of the product or its wiring. The actual separation

  distance necessary will vary according to the surroundings of the installation and

  the power of the transmitter.
If this product is not used in the manner specified by this IMI, then the protection              

provided may be impaired.

1.1  Intended use

i)  Check that the product is suitable for use with the intended fluid.
ii)  Check material suitability, pressure and temperature and their maximum and 

minimum values. If the maximum operating limits of the product are lower than 

those of the system in which it is being fitted, or if malfunction of the product could 

result in a dangerous overpressure or overtemperature occurrence, ensure a safety 

device is included in the system to prevent such over-limit situations.

iii)  Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow. 
iv)  Spirax Sarco products are not intended to withstand external stresses that may 

be induced by any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the 

installer to consider these stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise 

them.

v)  Remove protection covers from all connections before installation.
Safe operation of the product can only be guaranteed if they are properly installed, 

commissioned, used and maintained by qualified personnel (see Section 1.11 on this 

document) in compliance with the operating instructions. General installation and 

safety instructions for pipeline and plant construction, as well as the proper use of 

tools and safety equipment must also be complied with.

1.2 Access

Ensure safe access and if necessary a safe working platform (suitably guarded)

before attempting to work on the product. Arrange suitable lifting gear if required.

1.3 Lighting

Ensure adequate lighting, particularly where detailed or intricate work is required.
