Safety informaon and use
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 ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer. The opera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 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 ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer may only be operated by authorised persons and
serviced or repaired by trained specialists. All commissioning, maintenance and
repair work may only be carried out by technically 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 opera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 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 performed 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.
2.3 Obligaons of the operator
Before using the ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer, this manual is to be carefully read
and understood. The use of the ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer requires technical
knowledge; only commercial use is permied.

11
Safety informaon and use
The operang personnel must be familiar with the content of the operang
manual. For this reason, it is very important that these persons actually receive
the present operang manual. Ensure that the operang manual is always near
the device.
The ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer may exclusively be used within the scope of
applicaons set down in this manual and within the framework of guidelines put
forth in this manual. In case of non-compliance or improper use, the customer
assumes full liability for the funconal capability of the ANALYSETTE 28 Image-
Sizer and for any damage or injury arising from failure to full this obligaon.
By using the ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer the customer agrees with this and
recognizes that defects, malfuncons or errors cannot be completely excluded.
To prevent risk of damage to persons or property or of other direct or indirect
damage, resulng from this or other causes, the customer must implement
sucient and comprehensive safety measures for working with the ANALYSETTE
28 ImageSizer.
Neither compliance with this manual nor the condions and methods used
during installaon, operaon, use and maintenance of the ANALYSETTE 28
ImageSizer can be monitored by Fritsch GmbH. Improper execuon of the instal-
laon can result in property damage and thus endanger persons. Therefore,
we assume absolutely no responsibility or liability for loss, damage or costs
that result from errors at installaon, improper operaon or improper use or
improper maintenance or are in any way connected to these.
The applicable accident prevenon guidelines must be complied with.
Generally applicable legal and other obligatory regulaons regarding environ-
mental protecon must be observed.
2.4 Informaon on hazards and symbols used in this manual
Safety informaon

NOTICE
Allow the device to acclimase for two hours before commis-
sioning. High temperature dierences can lead to condensaon
in the device and damage to the electronics aer switching on.
Strong temperature uctuaons can occur during transport or interim storage.
Depending on the temperature dierence between the installaon site and the
