● Start-up Checklist
● Menu driven start-up (SOPAS ET)
The following requirements must be met for the start-up:
● You are basically familiar with GM32.
● You are familiar with the local situation, especially the potential hazards caused by
gases in the gas duct (hot/noxious). You are capable of recognizing and preventing
danger by possibly escaping gases.
● The specifications are met in accordance with the project planning.(→ Final
inspection record).
● The assembly location has been prepared accordingly, see “Preparing the gas duct
side”, page 15.
If one of these requirements is not met:
▸ Please contact SICK Customer Service or your local representative.
WARNING: Hazard resulting from gases in the gas duct
Hot and/or noxious gases can escape during work on the gas duct, depending on the
plant condition.
▸ Work on the gas duct may only be performed by skilled persons who, based on their
technical training and knowledge as well as knowledge of the relevant regulations,
can assess the tasks given and recognize the hazards involved.
WARNING: Risk to health through contact with toxic gases
The modules and equipment contain enclosed, potentially dangerous gases that can
escape should a defect or leak occur.
NO:
Max. total volume: 2 ml
Max. concentration inside the device with a leak (defect): 40 ppm
If a leak occurs, the concentrations inside the enclosed device can increase up to a
certain concentration. These concentrations are also shown in the Table.
▸ Regularly check the state of the device/module seals.
▸ Only open the equipment when good ventilation is available, especially when a leak
of one of the equipment components is suspected.
