Safety instructions and precautions
Safe use and operation:
Improper handling can result in significant personal injuries and damage to property.
Only an appropriately qualified operator or electrician should perform work on this high-energy igni-
tion system.
Operator
is a person who is responsible for installing, operating, adjusting, maintaining, cleaning,
repairing or transport of equipment, so that possible dangers can be recognized and avoided.
Electrician
is a person with appropriate professional training, knowledge and experience, able to
recognize and avoid dangers caused by electricity.
The high-energy ignition system (or parts of it) is (are) not intended for climbing or for standing on.
The high-energy ignition (HEI) system can only be operated in conjunction with additional flame
monitoring measures.
During ignition, electromagnetic interference may occur.
Safety during storage, assembly, installation and maintenance
Appropriate transport, professional storage, installation and assembly, as well as careful operation,
are prerequisites for impeccable and safe operation of the equipment.
Touching live components can lead to fatal injuries. Regular visual verification by the user should
therefore be specified. This visual inspection is limited to the integrity of the connected cables,
mechanical connections and ensuring the screws are securely tightened. Verification of compliance
with the permissible ambient temperatures is also required.
The ignition electrode of the high-energy ignition system may only be operated with the lid of the
installed ignition unit closed (and depending on the version, with undamaged protection sleeve), by
using a pneumatic guide in the combustion chamber.
As a voltage of 2000 V is generated in the ignition unit, it is imperative that the ignition system will
be taken out of service and sent for repair when any damage is found. Before any work is carried out,
the power supply must be switched off, secured against switching back on and checked to make sure
it is not live.
It takes at least 120 seconds for the capacitors of the high-energy ignition equipment to discharge.
After this time, work on the high-energy ignition system can be carried out.
In case of a necessary expansion of the high-energy ignition system, danger of getting burns may
occur. All components, including internal components such as the ignition electrode and ignition tip
need to be cooled down to ambient temperature before the system is extended. Use of protective
gloves and protective clothing is required.
When assembling the HE-Kit versions, protective gloves should be worn. Additionally, it is also
pointed out that there can be a risk through the use of pliers or whilst screwing in the ignition tip.
Limitations of liability
