This chapter gives information on the the structure of this document. It will assist you in making
use of it and show how to find the required information quickly.
Please read through these operating instructions before switching on or attempting to use the
equipment. They describe the use of the REACTRONRT 1, its installation and maintenance and the
appropriate replacement parts and accessories.
They will help you avoid erroneous use and consequent damage. Although REACTRONmachines
are designed for ease of service, this does not release you from the obligation to inspect your
equipment carefully and to clean it thoroughly.
KINEMATICA AG is a specialist manufacturer of machines and equipment for dispersing and mixing
technology.
An important objective of these operating instructions is to fully inform you, the user, about the
correct and safe use of our equipment.
In order to achieve this, it is essential that you should carefully study chapter 2, “Safety”, and follow
the instructions in this book.

These operating instructions are intended for all authorised users of our
machines/equipment. We distinguish different user roles, taking account of the different demands
placed on the user by the activity to be carried out.
You will find the definitions of user roles with the demands on the user in chapter 2, “Safety”. You
can fulfil one or more of these roles, provided that you meet the corresponding demands.
If you are unable to find the answer to any question in the operating instructions, please contact
the equipment manufacturer directly.

This chapter is directed at all users of KINEMATICA laboratory equipment. It includes information
on safe and optimum use.
Any incorrect use of the installed equipment can be dangerous. Inadequately trained users can
cause material damage and personal injury. This chapter informs you of the safety concept and the
requirements for safe and optimum use of the equipment.
All those authorised to operate, service and repair the equipment are required to study chapter 2,
“Safety”.
The safety concept sets down the entitlement to use the equipment and the responsibilities of the
individual users.
The machines and equipment are designed and constructed according to the state of the art and
the recognised safety rules.
The equipment is designed and constructed for the following use:
▪Dispersion and homogenisation of pumpable fluid products in accordance with the
technical specifications (see point 3.5) and compatibility with the materials coming into
contact with the products.
If you use the equipment for any purpose other than those listed, the manufacturer cannot be held
liable for any resulting damage.

Any use other than the “proper use” without the written approval of the manufacturer or operation
outside the technical limits of use is improper use.
To guarantee safety, we place requirements on the users of the equipment that must be met
without fail. Only persons meeting the requirements are authorised to work with the equipment.
We describe all those who work with the equipment as users. Since the requirements of these users
are very much dependent on their activity, we distinguish the following user roles.
The manufacturer can impose legal obligations on the contract partner when the equipment is
purchased. The contract partner is obliged to ensure that the equipment is properly used.
The operating company ensures that the equipment is properly used and authorises persons who
are entitled to work with the equipment in any one of the defined user roles. He is under the
obligation to instruct the users.
Contract partner and operating company can be the same person.
The service technician is an employee of the operating company and looks after the equipment in
special operating mode(s). He is a specialist with mechanical, electrical and electronic professional
training. The service technician undertakes commissioning, decommissioning service and repair of
the equipment. He must be appropriately trained to be able to carry out the service work required.
The operator turns the equipment on and off. In the event of an alarm signal he informs the service
technician.

The system danger area includes the whole system/equipment including the connecting lead and
controls.
This refers to all areas within a defined distance of the equipment.
This danger area includes all persons working with the equipment.
In order that the system/equipment can be used safely and without risk, the users in various roles
bear the responsibility for particular danger areas.
The contract partner bears the responsibility for the “proximity danger area”.
The operating company bears the responsibility for the “user danger area”. Only those users may
be authorised to operate the system/equipment who fulfil all requirements of the user roles
concerned. In so doing, attention must be paid to the following points:
◼It is to be ensured that all users of the system/equipment have fully read and understood chapter
2, “Safety” and act accordingly in a safety-conscious manner.
◼It is to be ensured that no unauthorised person carries out work with the system/equipment.
◼It is to be ensured that users are informed of the possible risks and dangers connected with the
system/equipment.
◼It is to be ensured that those being trained or engaged in general training are under the
permanent supervision of a trained and authorised person.
The service technician bears the responsibility for the “system/equipment danger area”. He ensures
that the system/equipment is at all times free from technical faults, safe and functions correctly.
