Section 1: Safety Warnings Section 1: Safety Warnings Please read the following safety warnings carefully before installing the equipment. 1.1 Introduction This section is meant to communicate to the user any hazards involved with the equipment. The following paragraphs will define the hazard warnings used and describe the icons found in various sections of the manual and on the equipment.
This symbol represents flammable gases. Gases used with the Gasguard can cause flammable atmospheres. This symbol represents PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). Proper PPE shall be worn when working with this system. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. Page 1 - 2...
Section 1: Safety Warnings This symbol represents electrical shock hazard. This symbol warns of a pinch hazard. This hazard exists on cabinet doors equipped with automatic closers. This symbol warns of the possibility of the distribution system tipping over if it is not installed properly.
INJURY or DEATH may result from unauthorized use or modifications. All modifications to equipment MUST be approved in writing by an Air Products and Chemicals' Representative. 1.3 Inert Gas Hazards High concentrations of nitrogen, helium, or other inert gases can cause an oxygen deficient atmosphere in a confined area which can cause DEATH.
Page 21
Section 1: Safety Warnings Oxygen concentrations of 19.5% or less can greatly increase the hazard of asphyxiation to personnel. Before working in an area where nitrogen, helium or other inert gases could be present, check the area with an oxygen monitor to be sure the oxygen concentration is between 19.5% and 23%.

Section 1: Safety Warnings 1.9.1 Toxic Gas Hazards Many of the gases used in the Gasguard system could cause personal INJURY OR DEATH at very low concentrations. Many of these gases provide no physical warning signs (i.e. coughing, throat irritation, burning sensations, shortness of breath) to alert personnel of exposure to toxic levels.
Chlorine trifluoride Phosphorous pentafluoride Dichlorosilane Silicon tetrachloride Fluorine Silicon tetrafluoride Hydrogen bromide Tungsten hexafluoride 1.9.3 Flammable and Pyrophoric Gas Hazards Flammable and pyrophoric gases could cause fire, explosions, personal injury or death. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. Page 1 - 14...
Page 31
Section 1: Safety Warnings Pyrophoric gases will spontaneously ignite in air Pyrophoric gases do not need a source of ignition to burn. However, low concentrations may accumulate without pyrophoric ignition (i.e. silane can accumulate up to a concentration of 2 molar percent [number of moles of silane per fixed volume of air] before spontaneous ignition occurs).

Section 1: Safety Warnings A leak from a loose mechanical fitting, component or a ruptured/failed component can expose the operator to a high pressure gas stream or projectile. The house nitrogen supply lines can contain pressures of 100+ psig (7+ barg). Exercise care when working around these lines.
(Occupational Safety and Health Admin., Labor Para. 1910.147) Although OSHA does not have jurisdiction outside the United States of America, it is Air Products recommendation that Lockout, or Tagout procedures be followed, except where local laws are more stringent.

When multiple gases are to be vented, ensure compatibility before plumbing vents together. Contact your Air Products Representative for this information. A nitrogen trickle purge is constantly bled into the vent line to maintain an inert atmosphere when hazardous gases are being used.
GASGUARD TE10 Distribution System Manual 3.4 Venturi Line Air Products strongly recommends separate venturi supply source rather than a houseline source. Most process cylinder pressures are significantly higher than houseline operating pressures. In the event of multiple failures of certain process panel components, there is a remote possibility of back contamination of the houseline source connected to the vacuum venturi.
Section 3: Tubing Connections The purge gas source for the GASGUARD Distribution System should be used only to purge other gas source systems or VMBs handling the same process gas. It must not be used to purge systems handling incompatible process gases. It is recommended that the purge gas cylinders be placed in an exhausted enclosure.
(2 CFH). If Type Z purge is required, a flow rate of 3-10 LPM (6-21 CFH) will be needed, depending on the tightness of the individual controller and the installation. Figure 3.5: Rear View of GASGUARD TE10 Controller Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. Page 3 - 8...
