3. Safety
3.1 Explanation of symbols
WARNING!
... indicates a potentially dangerous situation that can result in serious
injury or death, if not avoided.
CAUTION!
... indicates a potentially dangerous situation that can result in light injuries
or damage to equipment or the environment, if not avoided.
DANGER!
... identifies hazards caused by electrical power. Should the safety instruc-
tions not be observed, there is a risk of serious or fatal injury.
Information
... points out useful tips, recommendations and information for efficient
and trouble-free operation.
3.2 Intended use
The model GA35 emission monitor is used for the continuous monitoring of the SF6
concentration in the ambient air.The instrument has been designed exclusively for
operation in dry and closed areas.
The emission monitor can be integrated into higher-level or coordinate monitoring
systems by means of the active current loop (4 ... 20 mA). Switching functions can be
triggered or maintained via potential-free, safety-related switching outputs (e.g. when
exceeding or falling below limit values, in case of malfunctions, interruptions of power
supply).
Only use the instrument in applications that lie within its technical specifications (e.g.
max. ambient temperature).
→ Specifications see chapter 10 “Specifications”.

3.5 Danger of handling SF6gas
High concentrations of SF6gas can lead to asphyxiation.
Observe the following safety instructions in order to avoid danger from SF6gas:
■
Read the material safety data sheet of the gas supplier.
■
With large leaks, evacuate the area quickly.
■
Ensure good ventilation.
■
Ensure the leak tightness of the equipment with a leak detector (e.g. model GIR-10).
Valid standards and guidelines
■
BGI 753 (SF6plant and equipment in Germany)
■
TRGS 900 (workplace limit values)
SF6is a colourless and odourless, chemically neutral, inert and
non-inflammable gas which is approx. five times heavier than air, not toxic
and not harmful to the ozone layer. Detailed information is given in IEC
60376 and IEC 61634.

4. Transport, packaging and storage
4.1 Transport
Check the emission monitor for any damage that may have been caused by transport.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
CAUTION!
Damage through improper transport
With improper transport, a high level of damage to property can occur.
▶
When unloading packed goods upon delivery as well as during internal
transport, proceed carefully and observe the symbols on the packag-
ing.
▶
With internal transport, observe the instructions in chapter 5.2 “Packag-
ing and storage”.
If the instrument is transported from a cold into a warm environment, the formation of
condensation may result in instrument malfunction. Before putting it back into operation,
wait for the instrument temperature and the room temperature to equalise (12 h).
4.2 Packaging and storage
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change
in installation site, sending for repair).
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature: -10 ... +60 °C
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
■
Direct sunlight or proximity to hot objects
■
Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)
■
Soot, vapour, dust and corrosive gases
■
Hazardous environments, flammable atmospheres
Store the emission monitor in the original packaging in a location that fulfils the condi-
tions listed above. If the original packaging is not available, pack and store the instru-
ment as described below:
1. Place the instrument, along with the shock-absorbent material, in the packaging.
2. If stored for a prolonged period of time (more than 30 days), place a bag containing a
desiccant inside the packaging.
