2.3 Safety information
Possible hazard Hazard-prevention measures
Risk of fatal injury!
If oxygen comes into contact with oil or grease,
there is a risk of fire due to a chemical reaction.
Keep all parts that come into contact with oxygen free
of oil and grease.
Risk of fatal injury!
Gas escaping into the ambient air can ignite; there is
a risk of fire and explosion.
Smoking and naked flames are strictly prohibited near
gas supply equipment.
Risk of fatal injury!
The high-pressure panel may be damaged by
unauthorised changes or alterations and may no
longer work as intended. There is a risk of the
system malfunctioning, catching fire or getting
damaged.
No changes or alterations may be made without
the written approval of the manufacturer's authorised
technical personnel.
Risk of fatal injury!
If high-pressure panels are used that are not suitable
for the relevant gas and pressure range, there is
a risk of a fire or explosion occurring as a result of
a chemical reaction.
The high-pressure panel must be suitable for
the relevant gas and the pressure ranges involved.
Only use for the gases indicated on the device.
If there are no gas types specified on
the high-pressure panel, you have to ask the
manufacturer which gases it can be used with.
On no account must the high-pressure panel be put
into operation without this information.
Risk of fatal injury!
The use of the pressure control panel with
components or accessories that are not rated for the
same pressure as the control panel itself can lead to
serious damage or bursting.
Components or accessories (fittings, pipes etc.)
connected to the pressure control panel must be rated
for the pressure given on the type plate of the
pressure control panel.
If the high-pressure panel is used outside
the specified ambient temperature range, there is
a risk of the system malfunctioning, catching fire or
getting damaged.
Do not use in ambient temperatures below -30 °C or
over +60 °C.
If the device is not handled properly and used as
intended, this may be dangerous for the user and
others and may damage it.
Use and handle the high-pressure panel only as
described in this operating manual.
If the connecting surfaces or gaskets of the fittings
are damaged or missing, there is a danger of gas
escaping in an uncontrolled manner.
Check the connecting surfaces for damage, and do
not install if the connecting surfaces are damaged or
gaskets are missing.
