Dangers related to the operational environment
The following factors can give rise to hazards if the conductor rail is installed in this operational environment:
◼
Dusts
◼
Gases
◼
Chemical substances
◼
Liquids
◼
Radiation
◼
Major temperature variations
The
most important measure
to protect against these hazards is to only install the conductor rail system in locations where
appropriate operating conditions
prevail (see Section 3.3).
The system must be designed and operated according to the prevailing ambient conditions.
DANGER!
Risk of components being damaged and losing functionality due to environmental
influences!
Environmental influences (gases, substances, liquids, radiation, etc.) can damage the
components, particularly the plastic parts. For example, hanger clamps can break and the
conductor rail system can fall down.
→
Check the influencing factors of temperature, exposure time, concentration and
interactions.
→
Use in chemical works, galvanizing plants, electroplating plants, composting plants or in
warehouses or installations where chemical substances (e.g., aromatic compounds,
benzene) are stored or processed must be verified in advance by Conductix-Wampfler.
The resistance of plastic parts is critical when in contact with oils, greases or various cleaning
agents.
Major temperature variations can cause large expansions in the conductor rail system, particularly
for long systems. For example, hanger clamps can break and the conductor rail system can fall
down.
The system must be designed and operated according to the prevailing ambient conditions
within the framework of the permissible operating conditions!
DANGER!
Fire hazard due to sparking!
Highly flammable dusts, substances or gases in the vicinity of the conductor rail can be ignited by
sparks! These substances must not be present in the vicinity of the conductor rail.
