Page 13: Representation Of Safety Identifiers On The Temperature Control Unit
Introduction Chapter 1 OPERATION MANUAL Safety information and procedure The safety information in this operation manual is designed to protect the operating company, the operator and the equipment from damage. First inform yourself about any residual risks due to misuse before you start an operation. 1.3.2 Representation of safety identifiers on the temperature control unit The following pictograms are used as safety identifiers.
Page 14: Proper Operation
Flow-through coolers and calibration baths must be used only in com- bination with Huber temperature control units. Only use thermal fluids suitable for the overall sys- tem. The cooling or heating capacity is provided at the pump connections or - where present - in the tempering bath.
Page 15: Responsible Bodies And Operators - Obligations And Requirements
▪ Your system, which uses our temperature control unit, must be equally safe. ▪ The responsible body must design the system to ensure it is safe. ▪ Huber is not responsible for the safety of your system. The responsible body is responsible for the safety of the system.
Page 16: Temperature Control Unit With Natural Refrigerants (Nr)
Please additionally: → Page 14, section »Proper operation«. Huber temperature control units are constructed to be permanently sealed and are carefully checked for leak tightness. Temperature control units with more than 150 g natural refrigerant are equipped with an additional gas warning sensor.
Page 17: Requirements For Operators
▪ Regular leak tests of stationary refrigeration systems by certified personnel (such as Huber service engineers). The required test interval is based on the refrigerant filling capacity and the type of refrigerant, converted to CO 2 equivalent.
