SAFETY GUIDELINES
Basic safety precautions must be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury.
• Connect the DataSmart to the correct line voltage. A label on the product identifies what voltage it is wired
for. CONNECTION TO AN INCORRECT VOLTAGE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT
AND WILL VOID ANY WARRANTY.
• Install the DataSmart where the ambient temperature range is between - 0° F and +120° F.
• DataSmart NEMA enclosures and controls are intrinsically safe and can be used to control and regulate
certain flammable gases such as hydrogen, ethylene, methane and propane (LP Gases). In addition,
DataSmart can be used in Class 1, Division 2, Groups B and D environments where ambient explosive gases
or mixtures are not expected to be present in normal operation.
• DataSmart cannot be used for acetylene gas service. Do not install this product in a Class 1, Division 1,
(Group A, B, C or D) environment where ambient explosive gases or mixtures are expected to be present in
normal operation.
• If product appears damaged in any way, do not use and contact Harris Products Group Technical Service.
• Consult the cylinder distributor for the proper use of cylinders and for any restrictions on their use (such as
flow rate and temperature requirements).
• Store cylinders with valve caps screwed on, and chain cylinders to a supporting wall or column. • Handle
cylinders carefully and only with valve caps screwed on. The cap will reduce the chance that the cylinder valve
will break off if the cylinder is accidentally dropped or falls over. The cap also protects the cylinder valve from
damage to screw threads, which could cause leaky connections.
• No smoking should be permitted near oxygen, nitrous oxide, any other oxidizer, flammable gases, or
flammable mixtures, or in areas where cylinders are stored.
• Where an oxidizer (such as nitrous oxide or oxygen) is used, the manifold and cylinders must be kept clean.
No oil, grease, or combustible substances should come in contact with oxygen or nitrous oxide storage or
handling equipment. Such materials in contact with oxygen or nitrous oxide are readily ignitable and, when
ignited, will burn intensely.
• Never lift gas cylinders with a magnetic lifting device.
• Never use an open flame when leak testing.
• Always open valves slowly when high-pressure gases are being used.
• Always be sure that a cylinder contains the correct gas before connecting it to any manifold.
• Always leak-test any manifold or distribution pipeline before using.
• Always be sure that the gas in a pipeline is the correct gas for the intended use.
• Always close all cylinder valves before disconnecting cylinders from a manifold.
• Always remove all empty cylinders from a manifold before connecting full cylinders.
