2. SAFETY

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

2.1. INTENDED USE

The cylinder regulator C12hv and C200hv are only usable for the defi ned standard gases and pressures
observing the given temperature range. The nominal fl ow is 20 m /h (Air). Intended use also includes compli-
ance 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.
WARNING!
•
Danger from improper use!
•
Improper use of the system can lead to dangerous situations.
•
Never use the cylinder regulator with liquid fl uids.

2.1.1. STRUCTURAL CHANGES AT THE CYLINDER REGULATOR

Without written approval of supplier no extensions, additions or alternations are allowed on the cylinder
regulator.
Components which are not in perfect condition have to be changed immediately.
Cleaning of cylinder regulator and disposal of residues
Used components which are ready for reparation has to be purged with an inert gas before.
Noise Generation
In some cases when specifi c infl uence quantities collaborate together, e.g. fl ow 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 e ect.
THEREFORE:
•
Su cient ventilation is absolutely essential.
•
Installation only through certifi ed 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
