Basic safety information
Read and always observe the safety and warning information in these Operating Instruc-
tions.
Fig. 1: Sender/receiver unit
WARNING: Hazards through defective device
The VICOTEC320 is likely to be unsafe when it:
●
Shows visible damage on the outside.
●
Has been penetrated by moisture.
●
Has been stored or operated under irregular conditions.
When safe operation is no longer possible:
▸
Put the VICOTEC320 out of operation, separate all connectors from the
power supply and secure against unauthorized commissioning.
WARNING: Risk of explosions through explosive sample gas
▸
Do not use the VICOTEC320 to measure explosive, combustible or
flammable gases.
WARNING: Explosion hazard in potentially explosive atmospheres
▸
Do not use the VICOTEC320 in potentially explosive atmospheres.
CAUTION:
Eye injuries caused by improper handling of UV or blue light beams
The UV beam of the deuterium lamp or the blue light beam of the LED can
cause serious injuries through direct eye and skin contact. This results in the
following safety measures when working on the switched on device with access
to the light beam exit:
▸
Always wear UV protective goggles (in accordance with standard EN 170)
▸
The UV goggles do not provide protection against injuries caused by blue
light beams, therefore switch the LED off when working.
▸
Use the lamps only when they are perfectly safe. Operation is not allowed
when the lamp, supply lines or operating parts are visibly damaged.
