Basic safety information
Work on the device
Hazards through hot or aggressive gases and high pressure
The DUSTHUNTER SP100 Ex-2K sender/receiver unit is fitted directly on the gas-carrying
duct. On systems with a low hazard potential, installation or removal can be carried out
during system operation when the applicable regulations and safety provisions of the
system are observed, and necessary and appropriate protective measures are taken.
NOTICE:
Risk for system safety through work on the device not described in these
Operating Instructions
Work on the device not described in the Operating Instructions or associated documents
can lead to unsafe operation of the measuring system and thus endanger equipment
safety.
▸
Only carry out the work described in these Operating Instructions and the
corresponding documents on the device.
WARNING:
Injury risk through incorrect lifting and carrying of device components
Due to the mass of the device components, carelessness and mishandling during
transport can lead to injuries.
▸
Consider the device component's weight before lifting.
▸
Observe the regulations for protective clothing (e.g., safety shoes, non-slip gloves).
▸
To carry the device components safely, use handles or reach under the component.
▸
Do not use protruding parts on device components for carrying.
▸
Call in further persons as assistants as required.
▸
Use a hoist or transport equipment as an option.
▸
Pay attention to the transport safety.
▸
Clear obstacles that could cause falls and collisions out of the way.
WARNING:
Health hazard due to sample gas and sample gas residues
When working on the sender/receiver unit, leaking gas can cause hazardous sample
gas to escape from the duct and contaminate the enclosure.
▸
In systems with gases detrimental to health, high pressure, high operating
temperatures or risk of explosions, the sender/receiver unit fitted on the duct may
only be installed or removed when the system is at a standstill.
▸
When removing the sender/receiver unit from the duct, the sample gas supply must
be interrupted and the opening in the duct closed with a blind flange. The purge gas
supply remains.
▸
Before opening the gas paths: Take suitable safety measures (e.g., stop sample gas
feed, purge gas paths with inert gas, protective clothing).
▸
Skin or eye contact with contaminated parts:
– Observe the instructions of the respective Safety Data Sheet).
– Consult a doctor.
▸
Remove sample gas residues: Purge all parts carrying sample gas with inert gas for a
sufficiently long time.
▸
Remove solid and liquid residues.
