2.1 Intended use
SpillGuard® is a mains-power-independent leak recognition system for detecting leaks
of liquids / liquid hazardous substances. SpillGuard® is designed for use in clean,
uncontaminated spill sumps, which are set up indoors.
The spill sumps should preferably be in metal or non-metallic (plastic) materials.
Outdoor use is not permitted.
SpillGuard® may only be used within the limits for use defined on the nameplate.
SpillGuard® is suitable for Ex zone 0, due to gases and vapours.
SpillGuard® may only be used as a precaution with the liquids which have already been
positively tested by DENIOS. The list can be found here:
www.denios.com/spillguard
Suitability must be tested for substances which are not in the list.
The resistance list contains a representative selection of liquid
hazardous substances. If required, DENIOS can carry out a
function and resistance test for your substance. The test
includes checking that the substance is correctly detected and
also that the alarm signal is then maintained for 24 h
(resistance test).
Misuse
DENIOS takes no responsibility for any damage caused by contravention of the intended
use. All warranties and guarantees are excluded in the event of misuse. The party
causing the misuse is solely responsible for any consequential damage.
