2.7.3 Mechanical Dangers
CAUTION
Accident and material damage hazard from falling objects!
Equipment may fall down during assembly, retrofitting, or dismantling. This may result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
u If necessary, assemble/disassemble the device in multiple parts.
u Use a platform with railings instead of a ladder to reach the assembly area.
u Avoid working over the head. When this can not be avoided, wear a protective hard hat.
u Follow the mounting instructions in the installation manual.
CAUTION
Accident hazard from movement of mechanical parts!
The fingers or hand may be pinched due to movement of mechanical parts.
u Shut off the device before accessing it.
2.7.4 Dangers from Gases Under Pressure
WARNING
Risk of injury due to movements caused by stored pneumatic forces!
Pneumatically driven components may move unexpectedly due to stored residual forces,
causing serious injuries.
u Work on the pneumatics system must only be carried out by trained pneumatics
technicians.
u Before starting work on the pneumatics system, ensure that it has been completely
depressurized. The pressure accumulator must be completely relieved.
WARNING
Accident hazard from asphyxiation
A break in the pneumatic hose may result in the uncontrolled exit of nitrogen into the
laboratory.
u An oxygen warning device should be present in the laboratory if the device is operated
with nitrogen.
u Note that leakage from the main supply line cannot be stopped by the device!
Overpressure Valve
The high pressure system includes an overpressure valve which safely reduces the excess
pressure in the event of inadmissible pressure conditions developing as a result of faulty
operation, component failure or other irregular events.
