We reserve the right to make technical changes subject to the future development of the Flamco product referred to in this publication. Hence no rights may be derived from technical data, descriptions and illust- rations.
Training for the required services, installation, dismantling, commissioning, operation, inspection, maintenance and repair are part of the training / further education for service engineers of the Flamco branch offices or named service contractors. Such training covers information about on-site requirements rather than performance.
The equipment is delivered in packing units in conformity with contract specifications or specifications required for certain transportation methods and climate zones. They meet the requirements of the Flamco STAG GmbH packaging guidelines as a bare minimum. In conformity with these guidelines, vessels are shipped horizontally and compressor or pump units upright, each packed on disposable pallets.
Flexcon M-K Installation and operating manual ® Noise reduction Installations should be constructed with noise-reduction measures in mind. Especially vibrations of the assembly (pipework) can be dampened by using insulation between contact surfaces. EMERGENCY-STOP / EMERGENCY-OFF The EMERGENCY-STOP facility required in line with directive 2006/42/EC is made available by the main power switch on the control unit.
Such acts may result in serious personal injury and endanger operational safety. They will also render any claim for damages against product liability void. It is recommended to contact the Flamco Technical Sales and Service department to carry out these kind of services (+31 33 2975850 or in the UK: +44 1744 744 744).

Gas compartment connection Installations of one or more main vessels with one or more auxilliary vessels with combined pressure control and/or floor-standing compressors** at the automat require a gas compartment connection to be constructed on-site. For this purpose plug the pressure hose connection (lock in place)** into the connection-adapters mounted on the equipment.
Flexcon M-K Installation and operating manual ® Electrical installation The provision of power supply, (protective) ground wire connection and line protection has to be made according to regulations of the responsible power company and the applicable standards. Required data can be found on the name plate of the control unit, the terminal plan (markings) and Appendix 3.
Commissioning, volume level and operating temperature Advice: If a different volume level is required than the self-established minimum level after start (operational ready and installed top-up), the vessel should be filled according to the minimum required level needed for the actual system temperature, after completing the commissioning procedure on the control unit.
