Safety Precautions During Installation - BeaconMedaes HTM Instruction Book

• Immediately upon completion of work, remove any contaminated clothing and wash
hands (and, if necessary, contaminated tools) in a 2% glutaraldehyde solution and rinse
under running water.
• A checklist / logbook will be made wherein the installer will mark the adherence of the
installation to the commissioning chapter of the instruction book.
• A validation of the quality of the air at the outlet should be carried out before the unit is
put into operation.
5. If any of the following statements does not comply with the applicable legislation, the stricter of
the two shall apply.
6. Installation, operation, maintenance and repair work must only be performed by
authorized, trained, specialized personnel.
7. A compressor is not considered capable of producing air of breathing quality. To obtain air of
breathing quality, the compressed air must be adequately purified according to the applicable
legislation and standards.
8. Before any maintenance, repair work, adjustment or any other non-routine checks, stop the
equipment, press the emergency stop button, switch off the voltage and depressurize the
equipment. In addition, the power isolating switch must be opened and locked.
9. Never play with compressed air. Do not apply the air to your skin or direct an air stream at
people. Never use the air to clean dirt from your clothes. When using the air to clean
equipment, do so with extreme caution and wear eye protection.

Safety precautions during installation

1. The equipment must only be lifted using suitable equipment and in accordance with the
applicable safety regulations. Loose or pivoting parts must be securely fastened before lifting.
It is strictly forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and
deceleration must be kept within safe limits. Wear a safety helmet when working in the area of
overhead or lifting equipment.
2. Install the equipment where the ambient air is as cool and clean as possible and within the
limitations for operation. It shall be protected from rain, snow or other precipitation and the
distances to walls shall be respected. Make sure that the environment is not potentially
explosive.
Make sure that the ambient condition limits specified in the limits for operation are not
exceeded during the course of the plant lifetime and that they comply with the protection class
of the unit.
Care must be taken to minimize the entry of moisture or any other impurities (e.g. internal
combustion engine exhaust, vehicle parking, access areas, hospital waste and disposal
systems, vacuum system exhausts, vents from medical gas pipeline systems, anaesthetic gas
scavenging systems, ventilation system discharges, chimney outlets and other sources of
contamination) at the inlet of the compressor.
3. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps or desiccant bags must be removed before connecting the
pipes.
4. Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed,
damaged or worn hoses. Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and
suitable for the working pressure.
5. The air, aspirated by the compressor, must be free of flammable fumes, vapours and particles
(e.g. paint solvents) that can lead to internal fire or explosion.
