EN
• Malfunctions which could put safety at risk must be remedied immediately or the pressure unit
must be taken out of operation
2.4. INTENDED USE
The pressure unit is designed solely for the expansion of gaseous media from gas cylinders.
Any other or additional use will be deemed as "not intended use".
• "Intended use" also includes observance of all information in the operating instructions,
• Observance of the inspection and maintenance work,
• Compliance with the rating plate and the technical specification data sheet (TSDS).
