Safety
Vacuum system SC820G / SC840G

3.2 Responsibility of the operator

The vacuum systems are built according to the generally ac-
cepted rules of engineering and the occupational safety and
accident prevention regulations. Nevertheless, dangers can
arise during their use that lead to injuries to the user or third
parties or to damage to the vacuum system or other property.
Make sure that no hazardous situation, physical damage or
impairment of the vacuum system can occur.
Operating Operate and set up the vacuum systems only under the oper-
parameter ating parameters and operating conditions described in Chap-
ters 3.4 Operating conditions [} 13] and 5 Technical data
[} 26].
High-perfor- Only use the high-performance condenser at the pneumatic
mance con- system outlet; there is a risk of implosion if installed on the
denser pneumatic system inlet.
Ensure the correct assignment of the gas and coolant hose
connections on the high-performance condenser. Inlets and
outlets of gas connections must not be interchanged.
Accessories Laboratory equipment or additional components connected to
a vacuum system must be designed for the pneumatic data of
the vacuum system (see 5 Technical data [} 26]).

3.3 Working in a safety conscious manner

Observe the regulations on accident prevention and safety
during all work on the vacuum systems and during operation.
Avoid contact with the pump heads and housing parts, as the
pump heats up during operation.
Make sure that the vacuum system is disconnected from the
mains and de-energized when working on the vacuum sys-
tem.
When connecting the vacuum systems to the electrical power,
observe the corresponding safety rules.
Do not expose any body parts to the vacuum.
Ensure that no hazards arise from gas flowing when gas con-
nections are open, from the effects of noise or from hot, corro-
sive, dangerous and environmentally hazardous gases.
