2.1 Intended use
The intended use of the Pressure control panel BE56-2U-VCR is the expansion of a gas from a
gas source and the distribution of the gas with adjustable outlet pressure.
Pressure control panels of type BE56-2U-VCR are suitable for flammable gases, non-flammable
gases, oxygen as well as for ultra high purity gases from gas quality 6.0.
Depending on the equipment variant, the pressure control panel is suitable for the following
types of gases:
– inert
– oxidising
– flammable/self-igniting
– toxic/corrosive
– reactive
The permissible gas types and pressure ranges are each specified on the label (see "
").
The equipment versions of the Pressure control panels without electrical components may be
used in an explosion hazard zone as they do not have separate ignition sources (ignition hazard
assessment according to DIN EN ISO 80079-36).
Pressure control panels with electrical components that are suitable for use in an explosion haz-
ard zone are marked on the label according to EU Directive 2014/34/EU.
To be able to use the Pressure control panels as intended, all persons working with it must
comply with the specifications of the relevant user manual.
The area in which hazards can occur when used as intended is the area around the Pressure
control panels. The danger zone changes depending on the system status and use.
2.2 Misuse
Any improper use constitutes misuse. Pressure control panels may only be used for the spe-
cified gases and in the specified pressure range. Pressure control panels with electrical com-
ponents without marking according to EU Directive 2014/34/EU may not be used in an explo-
sion hazard zone.
Furthermore, the following operating conditions are regarded as misuse:
– Use for gases in their liquid phase
– Failure to carry out inspection and maintenance work
– Pressurisation in reverse (opposite to the flow direction)
– Operation with gases that are not specified on the label
– Operation outside the permissible technical limit values
– Failure to heed and comply with any applicable legal regulations and other provisions
– Non-observance of the user manual
– Failure to heed the information on the label and in the product data sheet
