Important!
When filled with CO
2
, the extinguisher cylinder is under a pressure of approx. 55 bar at 20°
C.
The extinguisher is only suitable for use on inflammable materials of the fire class
„inflammable liquid materials“.
The sealing nut for closing off the extinguisher line may only be removed when the
extinguisher cylinder is firmly connected to the machine tool (see Maintenance and Repair
Instructions).
Any work on the communication interface, such as the replacement of the batteries,
switching on the interface on the circuit board and changing the fuses, may only be carried
out by authorised persons (see Maintenance and Repair Instructions).
The laws and regulations that apply in the respective country for the transport, handling and
testing of pressure vessel devices must always be followed.
When refilling extinguisher vessels, which usually takes place 10 years or longer after the
initial filling (the date stamped on the pressure vessel will apply), the pressure vessel must
first be checked by a specialist (according to §10 Pressure Vessel Ordinance).
The manufacturer and installer of the extinguisher system cannot be held liable for damage
to goods or injuries to persons that arise as a result of the non-compliance of the operator
with the valid laws and regulations.
Note!
This operating manual presupposes that the system has been installed by a licensed and
authorised installer or by the manufacturer. The installer will carry out the work within the
framework of the valid regulations and directives, and is liable for the quality of the
installation. This operating manual contains an Handover and Instruction Protocol (see
Chapter 8), which must be completely filled in by the installer and must be legally signed by
the operator. This protocol serves as a certification of the correct installation, commissioning
and handover of the extinguisher system to the operator.
For reasons of liability, the switching off of the alarm functions must be carried out on-site by
the machine installer or a certified electrician. The installer will not be liable for any damage
arising from fires in machines whose extinguisher system is not interconnected with the
machine EMERGENCY STOP.
The correct inspection of the extinguisher system in accordance with the Handover and
Instruction Protocol is the precondition for the safe and problem-free operation of the
extinguisher system (see Chapter 8).
Carbon dioxide (CO
2
) is harmless in concentrations up to 5% by volume in the ambient air.
Higher concentrations, however, represent danger to life to yourself and other persons.
Always keep this operating manual in the vicinity of the extinguisher system throughout its
service life.
Observe the instructions and information attached to the extinguisher system, and comply
strictly with these instructions.
