Safety information
0.3 Thermal hazards
1 Under certain ambient conditions the TRIVAC
®
T may attain a tempera-
ture of over 70 °C (158 °F). There then exists the danger of receiving
burns.
Note the symbols on the pump pointing to the hazards, and in the case of
a hot pump wear the required protective clothing. All work on the “pump
still warm from operation” should only be done using protection gloves.
2 Before servicing and maintenance work always leave the pump to cool
down.
3 Consider always the warning information on the housing surfaces. If the-
se warning information have been removed, covered or obstructed, it’s to
secure that corresponding warning information will be attached again.
0.4 Hazards caused by materials and substances
1 The pump is not suited for oxygen operation (>21% oxygen).
2 Before commissioning the TRIVAC
®
T, make sure that the media which
are to be pumped are compatible with each other so as to avoid hazard-
ous situations. All relevant safety standards and regulations must be ob-
served.
3 TRIVAC
®
T pumps cannot be used with toxic, chemical, radioactive and
corrosive gases as well as pyrophorous substances.
4 If the pump has previously handled hazardous gases, implement the
proper precautionary measures before opening the intake or exhaust con-
nection.
Before opening the pump, purge it for a longer period of time with an inert
gas.
If necessary, use gloves, a respirator and/or protective clothing and work
under an exhaust hood. Firmly seal off the pump.
When shipping the contaminated pump for servicing, please also state
the type of hazard. For this you must use a form which we have pre-
pared for you.
5 When cleaning a system in which a TRIVAC
®
T pump has been integrat-
ed, all parts in contact with the medium need to be compatible with the
cleaning agent so as to prevent a chemical reaction. Residues of the
cleaning agent within the pump must be avoided.
6 Contaminated parts can be detrimental to health and environment. Before
beginning with any work, first find out whether any parts are contaminat-
ed. Adhere to the relevant regulations and take the necessary precau-
tions when handling contaminated parts.
0.5 Danger of ignition
1 The standard version of the TRIVAC
®
T is not suited for operation in ex-
plosion hazard areas.
2 The TRIVAC
®
T pumps including the accessories are fundamentally not
suited for pumping of combustible and explosive gases or vapours.
0.6 Hazard caused by noise
1 The noise level produced by the pump is less than 60 dB(A).
