2.4 Safety instructions
2.4.1 Fundamental safety instructions
The following safety instructions must be observed strictly:
o Read these operating instructions carefully and observe them.
o Read the operating instructions of the components carefully and observe them.
o Have work only carried out by qualified personnel/trained personnel.
o Wear personal protective equipment and work carefully.
o Pumped liquids can be subject to high pressure and can result in personal injury and damage to
property in case of incorrect operation or damaged components.
o Pumped liquids can be hot, poisonous, combustible and caustic. Use corresponding protective
equipment.
o Observe the associated data sheets and safety regulations when handling dangerous materials.
o Avoid skin contact with system parts carrying liquids at operating temperatures exceeding 60°C.
o Collect any discharging pumped liquid safely and dispose of it in an environmentally compatible
manner in accordance with the applicable local regulations. Neutralize residues.
o Keep the mounting surfaces, scaffolding, ladders, lifting platforms and tools clean in order to pre-
vent slipping or stumbling.
o If pressurized or energized components are damaged, shut down the pump immediately. Replace
the components or pump.
2.4.2 Dangers at magnetic coupling systems
Magnetic fields from magnetic coupling systems (MCS) can influence the function and operational
safety of electrical and electronic devices. The following safety instructions must be observed.
The following safety instructions must be observed:
o Keep the MCS away from cardiac pacemakers. There is a danger to life!
§ Under no circumstances may persons with cardiac pacemakers perform installation, dismantling
or maintenance work.
o Persons with cardiac pacemakers must comply with the following safe distances to the MCS:
§ 3 m distance to the openly accessible MCS
§ 1 m distance to pump units with installed MCS
o Do not bring the MCS in the immediate area of PCs, data carriers and other electronic
components.
o Keep the MCS away from clocks, magnetized tools and measuring equipment as well as all mag-
netizable parts.
o Do not bring both the MCS parts together, as this can destroy the magnetic coupling system.
