Basic safety instructions
WARNING Risk of injury from operational noise!
Hearing impairment from the continuous sound pressure level of the
equipment may occur.
Protect against noise-induced hearing loss with ear protection.
DANGER Disregarding the danger, work and service area!
There are risks due to electrical and mechanical energies, as well as
specific residual risks.
Guarantee a safe distance of 800 mm around the evaporator
components.
Do not deposit or store anything within the work and service area.
Accessories, chemicals or tools must be stored so that no risks arise for
personnel.
WARNING Imploding glass devices!
Serious injuries from shattering glass.
Check glass devices for damages (stars, breaks, cracks, etc.).
Only use perfect glass devices and replace all damaged glassware
as soon as possible.
Verify that the interior and exterior pressure variance equals
no more than 2 bar.
DANGER Potential loss of life due to dangerous electrical voltage!
Serious risk of injuries.
Residual electrical energy remains in the electrical wires, equipment and machines,
when the evaporator is switched off.
Inform operating personnel of outlets. Disconnect the sockets from the
power source to completely de-energize.
Work on the power supply must only be performed by an electrician.
Switch off the power switch.
Disconnect the evaporator from the power supply. Routinely check the
electrical equipment (power lines) of the evaporator for any wear or
fraying of wires.
Replace burned or melted power lines. Routinely check all power cables
for damages within the scope of maintenance and repair services.
Only disconnect the basic device with the heating bath if the device is
de-energized. Unplug main power supply.
DANGER Risks of injuries and mortal danger when disregarding safety
instructions and safe distances!
Risk of injury.
Risks exist when disregarding safety instructions and the safe distance to the
machine.
Observe safety instructions and signs on the evaporator and in these operating
instructions. Adhere to the corresponding safe distance to the equipment.
DANGER Danger of fire and explosions!
Serious risk of fire and explosions.
A risk of fire and explosions exists in the vicinity of the evaporator. Fire, open
flame and smoking are prohibited near at the equipment.
Flammable liquids may not be stored within the danger zone of the evaporator.
A fire extinguisher must be kept near the equipment.
Avoid potential ignition sources, such as ignitable atmospheres or reactions or
electrostatic charges.
Avoid exothermic reactions or the spontaneous ignition of dust.
Avoid adiabatic compression and shock waves.
Particular caution to reactions of explosion group IIC, in which hydrogen can
develop.
