Benutzers, geeignete Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu treffen, z. B. regelmäßige Kontrollen als Teil
der Routineinspektionen oder die rüfung des Materialdatenblatts darauf, ob das Gerät mit
speziellen Chemikalien kompatibel ist, die es vor Schäden schützen, um zu gewährleisten, dass
diese Art des Schutzes nicht beeinträchtigt wird.
•Der relative Druckbereich ist +/- 500 Millibar. Beachten Sie jedoch, dass der Eingabedruck für
den GA5000 nicht +/- 500 Millibar im Verhältnis zum atmosphärischen Druck, und der
Eingabedruck für den GEM5000 und den BIOGAS5000 nicht +/- 250 Millibar gegenüber dem
Atmosphärischen Druck überschreiten sollte; der Ausgangsdruck sollte +/- 100 Millibar im
Verhältnis zum atmosphärischen Druck nicht überschreiten.
