WARNING
Risk of chemical burns/poisoning through caustic/toxic residues on components with
sample gas contact
After the device has been decommissioned or removed from the measuring channel,
process gas residues can exist as deposits on components with sample gas contact
(e.g., gas filter, gas-carrying lines etc.). These residues can be odorless or invisible
depending on the gas mixture in the duct. Without protective clothing, contact with such
contaminated components can lead to severe burns or poisoning.
b
Take appropriate protective measures for work (e.g., by wearing a safety mask,
protective gloves and acid resistant clothes).
b
In case of contact with skin or the eyes, rinse immediately with clear water and
consult a doctor.
b
Decontaminate all contaminated components according to regulations after disas‐
sembly.
1
Clean the outside of all housings, the measuring probe and all other components
with slightly moistened cleaning cloths. A mild cleaning agent can be used.
2
Protect the openings on the SR-unit and measuring probe against atmospheric
conditions. Refit transport safeguards.
3
Pack the device for storage or transport (preferably in the original packing).
4
Store the device and all belonging components in a dry, clean room.
12.5
Disposal
The device can easily be disassembled into its components which can then be sent to
the respective raw material recycling facilities.
NOTE
The following subassemblies contain substances that may have to be disposed of
separately:
•
Electronics: Capacitors, rechargeable batteries, batteries.
•
Display: Liquid of LC display.
•
Sample gas filter and measuring probe could be contaminated by pollutants.
b
Decontaminate the measuring probe and filter before disposal.
