Operating Manual Page 2-4
The safety warnings in this manual generally utilize a combined marking.
An example:
WARNING
Risk of squeezing, shearing and cutting!
Freely moving parts may cause injury.
► Keep hands and arms out of the hazard area.
2.2 Safety Concept
Under normal operation condition the box may be operated between –15 mbar and +15 mbar
(corresponding to – 1500 Pa to + 1500 Pa).
In the unlikely case of a failure of a valve the box may be exposed to extreme pressures. For this
reason the fixture of the glove has been designed in a way that the glove will detach from the
glove port before any damage is caused to the box.
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage!
In case of failure of a valve, due to extreme pressure, the glove may detach
from the glove port, or the window may break if all glove ports are sealed:
The process materials may be polluted and exposed to ambient air. The
ambient air may be polluted by process chemicals.
Adhere to the following guidelines:
Keep at least one glove port in normal operation: glove fixed and glove port
not sealed with an inner or outer glove port cover.
If the application requires that materials handled inside the glove box
must not be exposed to ambient air in case of an extreme over- or under
pressure situation, additional safety measures are required. Please
contact the
MBRAUN Service Department.
2.3 Intended Use
The purpose of the
MBRAUN gas purification system, together with a glove box, is for enabling
and maintaining a pure inert gas atmosphere inside a hermetically sealed enclosure.
The intended application is for product protection. Materials that are sensitive to moisture and/or
oxygen are handled by using the attached gloves or additionally specially designed handling
systems.
