WARNING
Danger resulting from negative pressure/vacuum in the container!
A cold cleaning process in hot, closed containers can generate negative pressure, which
may result in damage to the container.
There is a risk of death or severe physical injury.
Take precautions to allow gases or vapors to escape during operation (e.g. install
devices for ventilation or pressure equalization).
As a result of the wide range of practical applications and usage conditions for the cleaning device,
AWH CANNOT specify a noise level for the device under load, i.e. when installed in the container and
during operation with cleaning medium.
For this reason, the manufacturer can only offer the owner as a precautionary measure, a few points of
reference and some notes to be observed and to be integrated into the owner's hazard assessment.
CAUTION
Risk of hearing damage due to an increased noise level!
The device emits a noise pressure level of L
pA
< 70 dB(A).
When the device is operated in a container, the noise level may exceed the maximum
permitted exposure value of L
EX, 8h
= 85 dB(A) and vary depending on the properties of the
container in the plant and the existing operating conditions of the device.
Hearing damage could be the result.
The plant noise level must always be measured and documented by the owner.
Keep the plant noise level within the legal range:
–
Take noise reduction measures (e.g. noise insulation).
–
Place barriers around the noise area and mark it accordingly (e.g. with mandatory
sign: “Use hearing protection”).
–
Use effective hearing protection.
Comply with the technical health and safety rules relating to noise and vibration protection (called TRLV
Lärm in Germany). State-of-the-art technology must be used to implement the measures to provide
protection from exposure to noise based on the hazard assessment. In this case, noise emissions must
be prevented at their source, or reduced as far as possible.
CAUTION
Insufficient lighting in the work environment!
The device is NOT equipped with any lighting. Insufficient lighting when working on the
device can cause accidents.
There is a risk of minor or moderate injuries.
Make sure that there is sufficient and even lighting in all areas of the plant in which
the device is used when work is performed on the device.
In Germany, the technical rules for workplaces apply - ASR A3.4. A luminance intensity
of 300 lx (lux) is recommended (maintenance value).
The following conditions must be met before the device can be started up in an Ex area:
