BFI Automation for consequential damages. BFI Automation is liable for possible errors or omissions with the exclusion of additional claims entered into in the framework of the warranty obligations conceded to in the contract.
Safety Safety Intended use The flame scanner shall be used exclusively to detect flames in combination with a suitable flame amplifier. The flame scanner and flame amplifier together constitute a complete flame amplifiering system for burners with a ran- dom capacity and random fuels in single and multiple burner systems.
Safety Requirements on persons Work on/with the device may only be performed by per- sons authorized to do so based on their training and quali- fication. Furthermore, such persons have to have been commissioned by the operating company. Do not allow any persons who are being apprenticed, ed- ucated, instructed or on a general training programme to work on the device without the constant supervision of an experienced person.
Safety Safety instructions The following instructions on accident prevention have to be observed when operating the flame scanner. Only operate the device if it is in a proper state ! Do not remove or disable safety devices. Check for externally noticeable damage and defects prior to using the device ! Immediately notify the appro- priate authority/person of any changes that occur (in- cluding changes in operating performance).
Safety Safety devices 2.4.1 Fundamental aspects Check the safety equipment and locking devices on the device for safe operational condition. Only operate the device if all safety devices are present and enabled. The operating company or operator of the flame scanner is responsible for the proper operation of the device.
Operating and auxiliary materials as well as exchanged parts have to be disposed of in a safe and eco-friendly way. Spare parts supplied by BFI Automation or approved of by BFI Automation only may be used.
Safety 2.5.2 Electrical / electronic devices Danger to life caused by electrical current! Contact with live wires or components presents a danger to life !
