1. NOTES • GUIDELINES • GUARANTEE
1.1. GENERAL SAFETY NOTES
• Observe the notes in these operating instructions!
• Observe applicable statutes and regulations, and the notes in these operating instructions, when handling
hazardous materials
• Observe accident prevention regulations and workplace ordinance
• Ensure that the necessary safety checks are only carried out by authorised sta using original
spare parts
• Only use the hazardous material workplace in a proper condition
• Make sure that there are no air currents above 0.2 m/s when selecting the place of erection as this can aect

1.2. GUARANTEE
The warranty for this product is agreed between you (the customer) and your specialist dealer (the seller).
asecos, as the manufacturer, provides a warranty of 24 months from the date of delivery for the products list-
ed in the operating instructions. As a safety device, all models are subject to an annual inspection by specialist
personnel authorised by the manufacturer. All device connections, including electrical and media connections,
must be made exclusively at the transfer points provided by asecos. Failure to do so will invalidate the custom-
er’s warranty claim against the manufacturer.
1.3. DETAILS
Development: asecos GmbH Sicherheit und Umweltschutz, D-63584 Gründau.

Use outside the above parameters is not permitted for safety reasons.
------
The alarm contact must not be confused with other contacts. The installation plug of the corresponding
contact is labelled for this purpose.
------
If the labelling of the alarm contact is not recognisable, it must not be connected or operated. The asecos
GmbH service department must be notified in order to replace the labelling.
------
Only the supplied counterpart to the installation plug (on the device) is to be used for connection.

The switching contact / alarm contact must be protected on site with a fuse (see illustration), which limits
the current to the maximum switching current specified above.

5.1. VENTILATION
PLEASE NOTE!
factory setting of the inlet air flow, recommended exhaust air flows and pressure losses: see technical data!
The specified values don’t apply if another setting is selected!
• Ecient, secure retention of the pollutants at the hazardous material workplace is achieved through an opti-
mum combination of inlet and exhaust air.
• The retention capacity of the hazardous material workplace depends on the inlet air speeds of the device.
• An increase in inlet air fl ow is only possible with an increase in exhaust air fl ow, otherwise any pollutants may
be forced out of the hazardous material workplace.
• The appliance has been optimised at the factory.
• In the case of hazardous substance workplaces with more than one exhaust air spigot, each exhaust air spigot
is monitored separately. It is therefore necessary for each spigot to be vented evenly.
• A delay of 20 seconds is set at the factory for exhaust air monitoring so that the on-site exhaust air system can
build up the necessary negative pressure before the test, even if the exhaust air line is longer.
