SAFETY WARNINGS

GENERAL
•
This equipment has been designed in accordance with EN61010-1 "Safety Requirements for Electrical
Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use", and has been supplied in a safe condition.
•
The Hardware manual contains information and warnings, which have to be followed by the user to
ensure safe installation, operation and to retain the equipment in safe condition. Carefully read this
manual before putting the my-Control into operation!
•
Before switching-on the equipment, make sure that the rating of the mounted fuses is appropriate for the
line voltage (for fuse details, refer to the section on the rear view of the controller).
•
This equipment is designed for bioprocess control; it must not be used for other purposes!
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock hazard.
•
The colored metal front panel (with any mounted pumps or micro valves) of the my-Control cabinet can
be replaced by a panel with a different color. However, removing the metal panel will make hazardous
parts accessible and must therefore be performed by qualified personnel. The my-Control must not be
switched on or used when the colored metal front panel is not properly in place.
•
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the my-Control or disconnection of the
protective conductor terminal will make the device hazardous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
•
Capacitors inside the my-Control may still be charged, even if the apparatus has been disconnected from
all voltage sources.
•
It is not allowed to perform maintenance and/or repair on the opened device under voltage. Before
removing the metal front panel or the rear panel, the power cord must be removed from the power entry
socket of the my-Control.
•
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified type (International
Standard IEC 127) are used for replacement. The use of makeshift fuses and the short-circuiting of fuse
holders is prohibited.
•
It is not permitted to connect equipment to the my-Control or the bioreactor without the double isolation
qualification or without the SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) qualification.
WARNING
The rear of the my-Control cabinet must be accessible.
• The power switch of the my-Control is located at the rear of the cabinet. Make sure that the my-
Control is installed in such a way that, in case of emergency, the power switch can be easily reached!
WARNING
Risk of overpressure in the glass bioreactor.
•
The glass reactor may be easily damaged; scratches on the surface will weaken the vessel. Therefore, do
not apply a process pressure that exceeds 0.5 barg (7 psig). Do not obstruct the off-gas line! Make sure
that the off-gas filter is not clogged.
