Important safety information
1.2.1
Hazards due to hot, corrosive and explosive gases, or high pressure
The FLOWSIC600-XT is fitted directly in the gas-carrying line.
The plant operator is responsible for safe operation and for complying with additional
national and company-specific regulations.
1.2.2
Hazard through heavy loads
The FLOWSIC600-XT measuring system must be attached securely to the carrying structure
when being transported and installed.
▸
Only use lifting gear and equipment (e.g. lifting straps) suitable for the weight to be
lifted. Maximum load information can be found on the type plate of the lifting gear.
WARNING:
Hazards through the gas in the system
The following conditions can increase the risk:
● Toxic gas or gas dangerous to health
● Chemically aggressive gas
● Explosive gas
● High gas pressure
● High gas temperature
▸
In installations with an increased risk, the FLOWSIC600-XT may only be
fitted and removed when the line is vented or when the installation is at a
standstill.
▸
The same applies to repair and service work which involves opening the
measuring duct or the explosion-proof Signal Processing Unit.
Otherwise health or injury risks can possibly arise through
escaping gas (e.g. poisoning, burns).
WARNING:
Hazards through leaks
Operation in leaky condition is not allowed and potentially dangerous.
▸
Regularly check leak tightness of equipment.
NOTICE:
The lifting lugs are designed for transporting the meter only.
Do not lift or transport the FLOWSIC600-XT with additional loads using these
lugs.
