Warnings and Caution Notices
WARNING: PRESSURE! Pressure gases are potentially hazardous. Energy stored in these gases can be
released suddenly and with extreme force. Pressure systems should be assembled and operated only
by personnel who have been trained in proper safety practices.
Do not disconnect any pressure connection of the Traqc-8 DPC when a leak test of any kind is
processing. Physical injury may exceed when process connections will be disconnected, caused by
the expanding gas.
CAUTION: Pressure testing with compressed gases can lead to additional risks due to release of
stored energy (e.g. burst of system, flying objects). Please take appropriate measures (e.g. shielding,
use of personal protective equipment (PPE)) to prevent hazardous situations which could result in
human injuries.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY! The tubing, valves and other apparatus attached to the instrument
must be adequate for the maximum pressure which will be applied, otherwise physical injury to the
operator or bystanders is possible.
CAUTION: Use proper pressure medium. Use only clean, dry gas. This instrument is not designed for
oxygen use.
WARNING: NOT EXPLOSION PROOF! Use of this instrument in an area requiring devices rated as
intrinsically safe is not recommended.
WARNING: Detachable main power supply cord with inadequate ratings should not be used.
WARNING: It is the responsibility to the operator to ensure that pressure in circuits connected to the
Traqc-8 DPC will never exceed their safe working pressure. In the event that the maximum safe
working pressure of a circuit / system to be tested is lower than the maximum obtainable output
pressure of the Traqc-8 DPC, the operator who will perform the tests must be instructed in advance
regarding the maximum safe working pressure of the external circuit.
Depending on the volume and pressure in the external circuit the risks for humans and material can
be very high. For that reason the end user must ensure that maximum pressure levels for each circuit
are established as set forth by law. (European directive 2014/68/EU or similar guidelines/obligations
are specified and applicable in the country of use.)
Because of the potential risk for human beings in the vicinity of systems/circuits under pressure, the
end user must ensure that risks are kept to the minimum by fencing, warning, forbidding passage or
access to the area for as long as the risk exists.
Do not connect the voltages higher than specified in the specifications to the PDT Tool. If higher
voltages are connected, the interface control may be damaged.
