WARNING
AN EXPLOSION PROTECTION SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED AND
MAINTAINED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THEREFORE, ALL INSTRUCTIONS,
SAFETY NOTES AND OTHER NOTES IN THIS MANUAL, AND ANY OTHER
INFORMATION FURNISHED, MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY. IF THE
INSTRUCTIONS, SAFETY NOTES AND NOTES ARE NOT FOLLOWED, OR IF THE
FENWAL EQUIPMENT IS MODIFIED, OR INSTALLED ON OTHER EQUIPMENT FOR
WHICH IT WAS NOT DESIGNED, IT MAY FAIL TO PROVIDE THE INTENDED
PROTECTION, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
LOSS OF LIFE.
If you find any of the instructions, safety notes or other information provided within to be
unclear, or if you have any questions, you should immediately contact your local
FENWAL explosion protection system distributor or the IEP Design Engineering or
Service Department at KIDDE-FENWAL for assistance and instructions.
Not all explosions can be suppressed or isolated and FENWAL cannot and does not
guarantee that its equipment will suppress or isolate explosions that might occur at your
facility, or in your equipment. However, as long as you do not modify your equipment or
change your process, and as long as you properly maintain the protection system
equipment, it should greatly increase your safety by providing a line of defense against
explosions. The first defense, as always, is a good safety program, including employee
training and good housekeeping.
Our experience over the past 40 years indicates that properly maintained and operated
explosion suppression and isolation systems will substantially reduce or eliminate
damage and personal injury from explosions. We believe that our equipment can provide
a safer work place and save you the cost of possible damage and claims in the event of
an explosion.
