1. General information
1.1 Introduction
• These instruction apply to the welding adapter of the
3W series, also referred to as connector.
• Read the instructions completely before using our pro-
ducts to prevent injuries, material damage and mal-
functions!
• Save the instructions for later reference.
• All rights including copyright and industrial property
rights are explicitly reserved.
1.2 Warnings
• Warnings are always identi
fi
ed by a signal word. The
following signal words or hazard levels are used:
Danger:
Failure to follow instructions will
lead to serious injuries or death. High risk le-
vel of endangerment.
Warning:
Failure to follow instructions may
lead to serious injuries or death. Moderate
risk level of endangerment.
Caution:
May lead to slight or moderate inju-
ries. Low risk level of endangerment.
Note:
Refers to an instruction that must ab-
solutely be followed.
Information:
Gives useful tips and recom-
mendations..
1.3 Special Hazards
• It must be ensured that the connector is resistant for
the media and temperatures that will be used. The re-
sistance of the connector with aggressive media de-
pends in individual cases on many variables (such as
the temperature, concentration ratio of the medium,
material, environment, tube material etc.). The person
ordering the connector is responsible for checking for
the speci
fi
c application. In case of doubt install the con-
nector on a trial basis.
• Always comply with the safety data sheets or the safety
requirements for the media you are using!
• Before removing the connector it must be ensured that
there is no more medium in the
fl
exible tube system
and the pressure has completely dissipated. Exercise
caution for toxic, corrosive or hot media residue
fl
owing
out of the line or remaining in dead spaces.
1.4 General Safety Instructions
• The connector must be properly connected to the
fl
exible tube system.
• Before installing the connector make certain that
external mechanical effects such as thrust and bending
forces are not acting on the
fl
exible tube system.
• Installation, commissioning, operation, installation,
maintenance, troubleshooting and disassembly must
only be performed by quali
fi
ed specialists with due con-
sideration of accident prevention regulations. Person-
nel must be capable based on their technical training
and experience of performing assembly tasks, follo-
wing technical speci
fi
cations and recognizing possible
dangers.
• Personnel with de
fi
cient knowledge must be trained
and instructed.
• Areas of responsibility and responsibilities must be pre-
cisely regulated and personnel must be monitored.
These safety instructions do not take into consideration
any:
• Coincidences and events that could occur at the cus-
tomer location during assembly, operation and mainte-
nance.
• Local safety requirements, for which the operating
company is responsible to ensure compliance, inclu-
ding assembly personnel who are used.
1.5 Designated Use
• The connector must only be operated within the permit-
ted usage ranges for pressure and temperature.
• Only the operating media named in the documentation
are permitted to
fl
ow through the connector.
• The connector must only be operated if it is in
fl
awless
technical condition.
• The connector must not be operated if it is in partially
assembled condition.
• If other operating modes are not named in the docu-
mentation, they must be approved with the manufac-
turer.
1.6 Reasonably Foreseeable Misuse
• Any usage other than designated use.
• Do not make any modi
fi
cations to the product by your-
self!
• Components should only be retro
fi
tted after consulta-
tion with the manufacturer.
