2 Safety informaon and use
2.1 Requirements for the user
This operang manual is intended for persons assigned with operang
and monitoring the Fritsch of the ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer. The oper-
ang manual and especially its safety instrucons are to be observed by
all persons working on or with this device. In addion, the applicable
rules and regulaons for accident prevenon at the installaon site are
to be observed. Always keep the operang manual at the installaon site
of the of the ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer.
People with health problems or under the inuence of medicaon,
drugs, alcohol or exhauson must not operate this device.
The of the ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer may only be operated by author-
ised persons and serviced or repaired by trained specialists. All commis-
sioning, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by techni-
cally qualied personnel. Qualied personnel are persons who, because
of their educaon, experience and training as well as their knowledge of
relevant standards, regulaons, accident prevenon guidelines and oper-
ang condions, are authorised by those responsible for the safety of the
machine to carry out the required work and are able to recognize and
avoid possible hazards as dened for skilled workers in IEC 364.
In order to prevent hazards to users, follow the instrucons in this
manual.
Malfuncons that impair the safety of persons, the of the ANALYSETTE
28 ImageSizer or other material property must be reced immediately.
The following informaon serves both the personal safety of operang
personnel as well as the safety of the products described and any devices
connected to them: All maintenance and repair work may only be per-
formed by technically qualied personnel.
This operang manual is not a complete technical descripon. Only the
details required for operaon and maintaining usability are described.
Fritsch has prepared and reviewed this operang manual with the
greatest care. However, no guarantee is made for its completeness or
accuracy.
Subject to technical modicaons.
2.2 Scope of applicaon
The ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer is used for the analysis of the parcle
shape and size of powders and bulk solids. The parcle sizer has an extra-
large measuring range of 20 µm to 20 mm! It is therefore an ideal device
for uncomplicated quality control in various areas of applicaon.
The parcle sizer described here is an operaons resource for use in
industrial environments. This operaons resource possesses hazardous
live components during operaon.
