WARNING
Before operation, all process connections and the piping system
must be tested for leakage at maximum pressure for continued
protection against injury risks due to fluid jets, burst pipes or
potentially explosive atmosphere.
WARNING
Use a harmless fluid in the beginning of the process. This will make
it possible to detect leakage with minimized consequences and
the risk for potential leakage of hazardous fluids is avoided.
WARNING
Operating limits. Never exceed the operating limits stated in this
document and on the system label. Operation of ÄKTAprocess
outside these limits may damage equipment and bodily harm or
death may occur.
WARNING
Power failure. During a power failure, or if the EMERGENCY STOP
button is pressed, ÄKTAprocess may remain pressurized. Opening
a line or vessel at this point could result in the release of potentially
hazardous process or cleaning fluid, and cause bodily harm.
When recovering from a power failure or emergency shutdown,
make sure all lines and vessels are depressurized before opening.
WARNING
Shutdown does not automatically result in depressurizing of the
piping system.
WARNING
Emergency stop. Pressing the EMERGENCY STOP will not shut off
mains power to the cabinet.
