2. SAFETY

This section provides an overview of all the important safety aspects to ensure the protection of your staff
and the safe and trouble-free operation of the equipment. Further safety information relating to specific tasks
can be found in the sections on the individual life cycle phases.

2.1. INTENDED USE

The R545 line regulator is only usable for the defined standard gases and pressures observing the given
temperature range. The nominal flow is 5 m3/h (Air).
Intended use also includes compliance with all the information in these instructions and compliance with
reparation, maintenance working, type label and data sheets.
Any use other than, or above and beyond, the intended use constitutes improper use.

Noise Generation
In some cases when specific influence quantities collaborate together, e.g. flow and pressure range can
cause noise generation or the gas itself. If this happens please contact supplier.

2.2. FUNDAMENTAL RISKS

The following section addresses the residual risks that may arise, even if the system is used properly.
Observance of the safety information included below and in other sections of these instructions is mandatory
in order to reduce the risk of injury and property damage and to avoid dangerous situations.
DANGER!
•
Gases can be life threatening!
•
Gases can supersede the oxygen in air. This can result in death by asphyxiation. Oxygen produces a
strongly oxidizing effect.
THEREFORE:
•
Sufficient ventilation is absolutely essential.
•
Installation only through certified company.
•
Observe ATEX directive.
ATTENTION!
•
Risk of injury from environment!
There can be malfunctions on component due to condensation and/ or icing.
THEREFORE:
•
Observe suitable temperatures.
•
Protect component from liquids from outside
•
Protect component from dust from outside
•
Protect component from weather conditions
•
Grounding has to be mounted properly
