Explosion hazard
The introduction into the OXYMAT 7 of a gas unsuitable for combustible media, ammable
reference gas can lead to an explosion.
• Use only nitrogen as the reference gas for ammable sample gases.
• Make sure that the reference gas pressure is always 2000 hPa (± 150 hPa) above sample gas
pressure.
WARNING
Absence of pre-purging
Risk of explosion in hazardous areas.
Explosive atmosphere existing in a device with pressurized enclosure (type of protection Ex p)
can result in an explosion during commissioning.
• Ensure that the device is pre-purged before it is commissioned.
• Ensure that purging time, quantity and medium are correctly observed. Refer to the
information in Technical data (Page87).
