Unqualified persons must not be assigned the above tasks! IGEMA GmbH accepts no liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by unqualified persons or by failure to observe these installation and operating instructions. If no sufficiently qualified person can be found, IGEMA GmbH can be commissioned with the installation/maintenance.
The correct installation position, alignment and flow direction of the device must be observed! Before installing the IGEMA product on boilers or containers, it is essential to remove all protective covers and, if necessary, the protective film from rating plates and sight glasses.
Avoid handling the device with your own physical force, e.g. by lifting, pulling, carrying, pushing or supporting it, especially to prevent back injuries. Use lifting equipment to move heavy and bulky equipment in accordance with Article 1, Section 2 of the German Load Handling Regulation (LasthandhabV).
For units with a dead weight of 30 kg or more, the customer must provide adequate support (e.g. via a spring suspension device, etc.). This can be attached to the holding strap/eyelet on the device.
Caution Note! For displays weighing 30 kilograms or more, the customer must provide sufficient support (e.g. by spring hangers or similar). Caution 3.1 Intended use Remote level gauge: The remote level gauge type GS can be used for every steam generator according to TRD 401 except continuous steam generators.
Explanations 4.1 Scope of supply The type FA GS is used to indicate the water level of steam generators. 4.2 Function The level gauge works according to the physical low of the communicating tubes. The geodetic pressure difference of two water columns is transferred to a transparent separating blue liquid in the remote level gauge.

• Weld on connection bolting (d) on the ends of connection lines (f). Check sealing and sealing surface of the bolting (d). • Tighten firmly bolting (d) on condenser (b) and shutoff valve (g). • Mount illumination device (p) and carry out electrical connection observing the VDE 0100 and the current regulations.
Commissioning Commissioning and maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel! If no sufficiently qualified person can be employed, IGEMA GmbH can be commissioned to carry out the commissioning. In principle IGEMA GmbH recommends commissioning the indicator at the same time Danger as the boiler (item 8.2).
Info 8.2 Cleaning of connection lines (f) (see sketch chapter 5) • Close main shutoff valves (c) and (g). Detach connection lines (f) on indicator valves (h) and (j) and on bolting (d) and bend a little to the side.
• Slowly fill in clean water up to overflowing at vent plug (a) of main shutoff valve (c). Both shutoff valves (c, g) must be closed. Tighten vent plug (a) with sealing • After having reached a minimum operating pressure of 2 bar, open valves in the following order: c, g, h and j.
Open first indicator valve (h) and then valve (j). • Main shutoff valves (c, g) are not opened. Close opened indicator valves (h, j). Opening valves in the following order: c, g, h and j. • Condenser (b) is not hot enough; no condensation.
It is assumed that the person charged with the maintenance tasks is fully conversant with measurement and control systems. Untrained persons must not carry out maintenance work! If there is no adequately qualified person available, IGEMA GmbH can be brought in to service your measurement and control system.
Commissioning of level gauge as described under point 8.2 / 8.3. 10.2 Cleaning of level gauge Close indicator valves (h, j). Carefully unfasten plug (n) on main shutoff valves (c, g) to relieve high pressure of level gauge (k). Remove plug (n).
>100 11. Shutoff valves 11.1 General information and operating instructions IGEMA valves are mostly maintenance-free and easy to handle. All IGEMA valves are equipped with metal gaskets and hand operation. Sealing of valve spindle is made with a gland packing.
Cap nut 11.3 Indicator valve (h, j) Carry out maintenance works only if connection line (f) is empty and pressureless! Beware of escaping steam! Danger • Close valves (h, j, c and g) and carefully turn vent plug (a) once.
Insert upper part of valve (5) with valve spindle (10) and new sealing ring (4) in valve housing (1) and tighten. 11.4 Main shutoff valve (c, g) Carry out maintenance works only if boiler is pressureless and empty below valve stud.
Check if no further steam escapes at the damaged place. • Set boiler pressureless! Close valves as follows: • Close the upper and lower shut-off valves (c+g) on the steam- and water-carrying connections. • Close the indicator valve (h+j) on the steam- and water-carrying connection piece. •...
