Operational Safety; Occupational Safety; Personal Protective Equipment (Ppe) - Heidolph Hei-PLATE Mix'n'Heat Expert Operating Instructions Manual

Safety

Operational safety

➜
Operate the device under a closed ventilated fume hood when working with potentially
hazardous substances (see EN 14175 and DIN 12924).
➜
Do not cover the heating plate during operation: this has a negative effect on the housing
cooling function (air gap), the thermal conductivity of the heating plate and possibly the life
of the device.
➜
All incoming and outgoing lines (power connection cable, data cable, measuring cable,
hose connections, etc.) must be laid and secure to prevent any contact with hot surfaces
(heating plate) and potential kinking, rubbing and shearing points (e.g. on lab jacks).
➜
Do not make any unauthorized changes or modifications to the device!
➜
Only use genuine spare parts and accessories, or those expressly approved by the
manufacturer!
➜
Rectify malfunctions or faults on the device immediately.
➜
Switch off and disconnect the device from the power supply, preventing reconnection, if it
is not possible to eliminate the malfunction or rectify the fault immediately.
➜
Observe all other applicable regulations such as laboratory and workplace guidelines,
recognized safety technology rules and special local regulations.

Occupational safety

➜
Always use the prescribed personal protective equipment (PPE) such as protective
clothing, safety goggles, protective gloves, safety shoes, etc.
➜
Persons with pacemakers or other susceptible implants must maintain a minimum
distance of 10 cm from the device to prevent possible malfunctions.
➜
Do not operate any other devices in the immediate vicinity of the device
–
which generate emission or radiation sources in the frequency range 3 × 10
3 × 10 Hz (in the optical spectral range wavelengths from 1,000 μm to 0,1 μm),
15
– which generate ultrasonic or ionizing waves.
➜
Do not process any substances that could release energy in an uncontrolled manner (e.g.
self-ignition).
➜
Do not process substances in which the energy input through mixing poses a danger.
➜
Do not work with an open flame in the immediate vicinity of the device (risk of explosion).
➜
Only use heat transfer agents and media that are explicitly approved and suitable for
laboratory operation and for the respective working environment.
➜
Wipe off any liquid that may have spilled on the device immediately.

Personal protective equipment (PPE)

The operating company must determine and provide the necessary PPE, depending on the
respective application and the media and chemicals used.
The corresponding instruction of the personnel is solely within the operating company's
responsibility.
