11 Maintenance 

When carrying out work in hazardous areas, take the relevant safety precautions. 

 

The quality of measurements and availability of the combustion calorimeter can 

only be guaranteed when the maintenance intervals are adhered to. 

11.1  Preparations 

Supply lines of linked system components can be closed for maintenance 

purposes. These must be reopened after the device is put back into service. 

 

 

 

 

 

DANGER

 

Risk of ignition by electricity! 
Risk of serious injury from electricity! 

 

Parts of the combustion calorimeter with the adjacent symbol may still carry 

voltage even when the main switch is switched off! If required, separate the 

combustion calorimeter from the supply network!  

 

Device does not have a main switch – disconnect the device from the voltage 

supply if necessary and take steps to prevent reconnection! 

 

Only skilled electricians are permitted to work on the electrical equipment of 

the combustion calorimeter! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

 

Risk of serious injury from escaping gases! 

 

Before carrying out maintenance work on the combustion calorimeter and 

whenever necessary, also bring the the linked system components to a 

standstill. 

 

Valve of the ignition protection gas supply – Follow instructions before 

closing! 

 

Work on gas connections may only be carried out by qualified personnel! 

Guidelines applicable at the installation location must be observed! 

 

Incomplete combustion during maintenance operation may cause the 

exhaust air to become polluted with combustion gas! 

 

In case of toxic gases, the applicable safety provisions must be complied 

with. 

 

Risk of serious injury from burns caused by burner components! 

Before carrying out maintenance work on the burner system, always wait 5 

minutes for it to cool down!
