Safety Special- Activity User Manufacturer ized per- sonnel Self-cleaning Repairs by operator Damage report Decontamination Disposal (1) Access can be blocked by the user (see section 6.3.1 Access control). (2) Performed by specially trained users (3) Performed by qualified and authorized service providers only 2.3 Protective measures All protective measures must be the highest priority in order to protect the life and health of personnel.
Safety 2.4.1 Hazardous materials in general WARNING ► Hazardous materials in the medium to be conveyed can cause personal injuries and property damage. ► Heed the warning and safety instructions for handling hazardous mate- rials! HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ► For applications with materials with H and P classes, measures must be taken to protect the health of people and the environment.
Safety 2.4.2 Explosive gases The device is not suited for operation in areas subject to explosion or for conveying media that can form explosive mixtures. The device is not certified as per ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. When using the device in areas subject to explosion, the system operator is obligated to ad- here to the ATEX 137 Directive 1999/92/EC.
Safety 2.4.5 Vacuum WARNING ► Hazard due to sudden ventilation of the vacuum apparatus. ► Due to sudden ventilation, the vacuum apparatus can explode. ► Prevent sudden ventilation. Check the pressure in the vacuum appa- ratus before you disconnect the pneumatic connections. A vacuum can also exist in the vacuum apparatus when the device is switched off.
Safety 2.5.3 Operating fluid CAUTION ► Risk of injury from contact with cold surfaces! ► When using very cold coolants, surfaces such as those on the emis- sion condenser can become dangerously low. ► The operator must ensure safe operation and take measures to protect the user if necessary (see sections 2.3 Protective measures and 6.3.1 Access control).
Safety 2.5.5 Network safety NOTE ► The vacuum controller of the device is network-capable via the LAN connection. This introduces the possibility of external access to the vacuum controller (or the device). Unauthorized access can cause ma- nipulation of the applications. The operator must guarantee network security in order to prevent un- desired access to the vacuum controller (or the device).
