Safety
Use for the intended purpose
The following types of equipment are designed to
discharge condensate from steam systems:
QuickEM
QuickEM Control
QuickEM Control is also designed for monitoring
steam traps for banking-up of condensate and loss
of live steam.
Use measuring electrodes NRG 16-27 and NRG 16-
28 only in conjunction with suitable analysing
devices (e. g. GESTRA test station NRA 1-3).
Suitable analysing devices are specified in the
operating manuals of the respective measuring
electrodes.
The equipment must only be used within the
allowable pressure and temperature limits and only
if the chemical and corrosive influences on the
equipment are taken into account.
Correct use includes compliance with the
instructions given in this installation & operating
manual, in particular obedience to all safety
instructions.
Any other use of the equipment is considered to be
improper.
In particular any kind of refitting or modification of
the equipment without prior approval of the
manufacturer is regarded as improper use.
Note that the equipment is also used incorrectly if
the materials of the equipment are not suitable for
the fluid.
Basic safety notes
Explosion hazard
Risk of explosion caused by static electricity if
the equipment is improperly mounted in
potentially explosive areas!
Observe all safety standards for fire and
explosion prevention prescribed for the place of
installation.
The equipment and its component parts must
only be mounted or removed by qualified
personnel.
Make sure that any static electricity is
discharged.
Risk of severe injuries
The equipment is under pressure during
operation and may be hot. Before carrying out
any work on the equipment make sure that the
following requirements are met:
The pipes must be depressurized (0 bar).
The fluid must be completely removed from
the pipes and the equipment.
During work on the equipment the
installation must be switched off and
protected against unauthorised or
unintended activation.
The pipes and the equipment must have
cooled down to room temperature (approx.
20 °C).
If the equipment is used in contaminated areas
there is a risk of severe injuries or death caused
by harmful substances in or on the equipment.
Before working on the equipment make sure
that it is completely decontaminated. Always
wear the protective clothing prescribed for
contaminated areas when working on the
equipment.
The equipment must only be used with fluids
that do not attack the material and the gaskets
and sealings of the equipment. Otherwise leaks
may occur and hot or toxic fluid could escape.
The equipment and its component parts must
only be mounted or removed by qualified
personnel. A qualified person must be
