9.1 General points
NOTICE
Regular maintenance is essential for safe operation. Scope and intervals
must be adapted to requirements. The first check-up must be carried out
directly after the device has been put into operation.
The length of maintenance intervals must be defined by the operator. Dur-
ing visual inspections, particular attention must be paid to possible damage.
In this case, the device may no longer be used.
Type and scope of maintenance as well as measured values should be
documented. This is the quickest way to determine changes in operating
data.
When designed to the conditions of use and fitted correctly, the devices are
able to be used for long and problem-free operation. They only require a little
maintenance. This is absolutely essential for problem-free operation, howev-
er. Experience shows that a high percentage of the problems and damage
that occur can be traced back to dirt and lack of maintenance.
The device is basically maintenance-free. If, however, fluids are pumped that
can lead to deposits in the measuring device, the device may need cleaning.
Otherwise the device can be cleaned within the context of normal system
cleaning. A change in measuring accuracy can be an indication of wear. We
recommend checking this regularly.
The scope and time intervals for inspections and maintenance are generally
specified by the operator in a respective plan.
All removed barriers and warning signs must be put back to their original
position on completing maintenance and/or repair.
Regular checking of all operating data such as pressure, temperature, cur-
rent consumption, degree of filter soiling etc. contributes to early problem
detection.
