For your own safety
Note:
When carrying out any work on the filters comply with all applicable
national accident prevention regulations!
Intended use
A filter of the series described here must be exclusively used for filtering the gas
noted on the filter’s type label. The technical data specified on the type plate
must be observed and complied with. Any operation at conditions other than
those indicated on the type label is regarded as not intended. Please contact the
manufacturer if you plan to use the filter for gases other than those indicated on
the type label.
ATEX-compliant filters as per CE Ex II 2G marking must be operated in zone 1
and zone 2 only.
ATEX-compliant filters are conductive. The operator must make sure
conductivity is maintained under all circumstances. He must also make sure
that the conductivity is not impaired by any attachment parts. The conductivity
must be tested and approved after each service assignment.
To ensure proper preliminary filtration, a strainer filter must be installed upstream
of any C, CF or CSF filter element. Operation of C, CF or CSF filter elements is
regarded as not intended if these conditions are not met.
Obvious improper use
Danger when explosive gases are filtered!
Filters not marked with an ATEX code on the type label must not be used
to filter explosive gases or for operation in an explosive environment.
Impermissible maloperation
The filters described here must not be used for:
filtering instable gases (e.g. acetylene).
filtering liquids
conveying solid, dustlike goods.
