4.10 EMERGENCY-STOP / EMERGENCY-OFF
To conform with directive 2006/42/EG an EMERGENCY-STOP facility is to be made available during installation. Preferably,
use a grounded wall socket for the power supply to the unit. The socket must stay accessible. If the unit is directly connected
to the power supply, make sure the power supply line is provided with
•
a high-sensitivity differential switch (30mA) (residual current device RCD)
•
a mains isolator switch with a contact gap of at least 3 mm.
When additional security measures with EMERGENCY-OFF devices are required according to the design and operation of the
heat generator, these are to be installed on-site.
4.11 Personal protective equipment (PPE)
PPE must be used when carrying out potentially dangerous work and other activities (e.g. welding), in order to prevent or
minimise the risk of personal injury if other measures cannot be taken. These must comply with the requirements specified
by the main contractor or operator of the operations room or the site in question.
If no requirements are specified, to operate the automat no PPE is required. Minimum requirements are well- fitting clothing
and sturdy, closed and skidproof footwear.
Other services require the protective clothing and equipment necessary for the activity in question (e.g. transport and
assembly: rugged, close-fitting work clothing, foot protectors [safety shoes with toe caps], head protection [safety helmet],
hand protectors [protective gloves]; maintenance, repair and overhaul: rugged, close-fitting work clothing, foot protectors,
hand protectors, eye/ face protector [safety goggles]).
4.12 Exceeding permitted pressure / temperature levels
Equipment used in combination with the expansion automat must guarantee that the permitted operating temperature and
the permitted medium temperature (heat transfer medium) cannot be exceeded. Excess pressure and temperature may lead
to component overload, irreparable damage to components, loss of function and, as a result, to severe personal injury and
damage to property. Regular checks/inspections of these safeguards must be carried out. Service logs must be kept.
4.13 System water
Water which is non-flammable, does not contain solids or long-fibre components and does not present a danger to
operations due to its contents, and will not affect or damage the water bearing components (e.g.: pressurised components,
the diaphragm, vessel connection) of the expansion automat. Also observe: VDI 2035 - avoidance of damage to warm water
heating equipment.
System water containing components are pipelines, hoses connected to the vessel, devices and system connections
including valves and fittings, and their casings, sensors, pumps, the vessel itself and the vessel diaphragm. Operation with
improper media can lead to impaired function, damage to components and, as a consequence, to serious personal injury
and damage.
4.14 Safeguards
The equipment supplied is equipped with the required safety devices. To test their effectiveness or restore the set-up
conditions, the equipment must first be taken out of service. Taking the system out of service implies that power should be
cut and hydraulic connections blocked, to prevent accidental or unintentional re-connection.
Mechanical hazards:
The fan cover on the compressor protects users from personal injury caused by moving parts. Before switching the unit
on, make sure that the cover is suitable for this purpose and properly secured.
