Introduction
This manual covers the tasks required to install, operate and maintain the Gasguard
Source System gas cabinet, rack, and purge panel system. Because of unique
installation variables from site to site, it is not intended as a step-by-step
installation procedure, but relies on the knowledge of qualified personnel to
perform the work properly. This manual should be read thoroughly by the
supervising installation engineer before installation is begun.
The Gasguard cabinets have been designed and built in accordance with the
International Fire Code (IFC) and the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA). They must be installed and operated in accordance with the IFC, NFPA
and all other applicable industrial, federal, state and local codes if installed in the
United States.

1.2 ImportantSafetyWarnings
Failure to read, understand and follow the
safety information found in this section
could result in personal injury and death.
The operator must read and understand
this safety section before operating the
system. All operating and maintenance
personnel must receive training and
instruction by Versum Materials, Inc.
All cylinder storage areas must be
continually monitored with an air quality
monitor to prevent the danger of a
hazardous atmosphere.
Before using the system, review your
company's requirements for use of toxic,
corrosive, flammable, pyrophoric,
oxidizers and inert gas cylinders and
electrically powered equipment. You must
be thoroughly trained in your company's
safety procedures and safety equipment
(self-contained breathing apparatus,
emergency shutdown systems, plant alarm
locations, etc.)

Do not use this device in any manner other
than specified in this manual.
Do not make any changes to the
independently. INJURY or DEATH
may result from unauthorized
modifications. All modifications to
equipment MUST be approved in
writing by an Versum Materials, Inc.'
Representative.
1.3 InertGasHazards
High concentrations of nitrogen,
helium, or other inert gases can cause
an oxygen deficient atmosphere in a
confined area which can cause
DEATH. All personnel must read and
understand the material safety data
sheet(s) (MSDS) for the specific
gas(es) being used.
Oxygen concentrations of 19.5% or less can greatly increase the hazard of
asphyxiation to personnel. Before working in an area where nitrogen, helium or
other inert gases could be present, check the area with an oxygen monitor to be
sure the oxygen concentration is between 19.5% and 23%. While working in the
area, the oxygen concentration needs to be monitored with a continuous oxygen
monitor. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area to decrease the
risk
of an oxygen deficient atmosphere.

Personnel in an oxygen deficient atmosphere will not realize they are being
asphyxiated. Breathing of pure inert gases will cause immediate unconsciousness.
Symptoms of asphyxia include:
•
Rapid breathing
•
Nausea
•
Vomiting
•
Inability to move
•
Convulsive movements
•
Collapse
•
Abnormal pulse
•
Rapid fatigue
•
Faulty judgment
•
Insensitivity to pain
•
Abnormal emotions
Remove any personnel in an oxygen deficient atmosphere to fresh air. Get
medical attention immediately. Positive pressure breathing apparatus must be
worn by any rescuers entering a suspected oxygen deficient atmosphere.
Nitrogen gas may accumulate in low or confined areas. All requirements of
OSHA 1910.146 (Confined Space Guidelines) must be met when inert gases may
be present in confined spaces. Self contained breathing apparatus is required
(cartridge or filter type gas masks cannot be used). See the information on
personal protective equipment in this section for details.
