Basic safety notes
Risk of severe injuries
The equipment is under pressure and can get
hot during operation. Only perform work on the
equipment if the following conditions are
satisfied:
The pipes must be isolated from pressure.
All medium must be thoroughly removed
from pipes and the equipment.
Before carrying out any work, the higher-
level system must be switched off and
secured so it cannot be switched back on by
unauthorised persons.
Pipes and the equipment must have cooled
to around 20 °C (lukewarm).
The equipment may only be used with media
that are not aggressive in contact with material
and seals. Otherwise, there may be leaks and
hot or toxic medium may escape.
The equipment and its components may only be
installed or removed by specialist personnel.
Specialist personnel must have knowledge and
experience of the following areas:
Producing connections on pipes.
Selecting suitable lifting gear for the product,
and using it safely.
Working with hazardous (contaminated, hot
or pressurised) media.
Risk of burns during setting work.
Settings can only be performed when the
equipment is at operating temperature. Wear
suitable protective clothing for the operating
temperature of the medium. Do not touch any
parts of the system.
Risk of minor injuries
Sharp edges on internals present the danger of
cuts to hands. Always wear industrial gloves
when servicing the equipment.
If the support of the equipment during
installation is insufficient the equipment might
fall down, thereby causing bruises or injuries.
Make sure the equipment is safely held in place
during installation and cannot fall down. Wear
protective safety footwear.
Information on property damage or
malfunctions
Malfunctions will occur if the equipment is
installed in a wrong position or with the flow
arrow pointing in the opposite direction of the
fluid flow. This may result in damage to the
equipment or the installation. Make sure that
the flow arrow on the equipment body matches
the indicated direction of the fluid flow in the
pipe.
If the material is unsuitable for the fluid,
increased wear may occur and fluid may
escape. Make sure that the material is suitable
for the fluid used in your installation.
Qualification of personnel
A qualified person must be acquainted with and
experienced in the following:
the pertinent on-site rules and regulations for
preventing fire and explosions as well as
industrial safety regulations
working on pressure equipment
making pipe connections
working with dangerous (hot or pressurized)
fluids
lifting and transporting loads
observing all notes and instructions in this
installation & operating manual and the
applicable documents
