Thermal hazards such as burns and scalds from contact with high-temperature surfaces can be
prevented by following these safety instructions:
Caution! Parts of the device and attached pipes and connectors become very hot!
Never open the device unless being specially trained for service by Enapter.
Do not touch the O2vent port or any attached pipes directly after operation. Switch
off the device and wait until it is cooled down before servicing, transporting, or
changing the piping of the device.
3.7 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
The device has been designed for use in standard ambient conditions, respecting stability requirements
(in the absence of seismic or hydrogeological events).
The device has not been designed for outdoor use. It is the operator’s responsibility to protect the
device and all its accessories against atmospheric phenomena such as direct sunlight, rain, snow, and
lightning.
3.8 ACOUSTIC HAZARDS
According to the requirements stated into the Machine Directive 2006/42/EC, the following topics have
been considered:
Caution! The device vents gases with a loud noise!
During regular operation, the device emits a noise level below the maximum acceptable
threshold for long time exposure (80 dBA).
However, a sudden vent (either caused by device shut down or unforeseen error) can
be louder than 85 dB, depending on the vent line installation. Due to this, Enapter
recommends wearing PPE (earplugs) while working around the device.
