Safety Precautions - Inficon Vortex Dual 714-202-G Serie Manual De Funcionamiento

1.0 Safety Precautions

Read this manual before using Vortex Dual to become familiar with its
specifications and operation. Review the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and
the Temperature - Vapor Pressure information for the proper safety and handling
requirements regarding the refrigerants being recovered.
Wear gloves, eye protection and foot protection when working
on refrigeration systems.
Refrigerant vapor can be hazardous and its by products can be lethal.
Motors and switches can generate sparks and can be especially dangerous
in flammable environments. Work only in well-ventilated areas, with mechanical
ventilation that provides at least four air change rates per hour. Do not work in an
enclosed area without appropriate safety equipment. It may be necessary to install
a separate circulation fan.
Never use oxygen for leak detection. Oxygen can become an explosive
mixture in the presence of oil and pressure. Perform leak detection in accordance
with recommended practice only. For best results, use a refrigerant detector, such
as INFICON D-TEK Select, Compass, or TEK-Mate.
Never mix refrigerants. Use separate storage cylinders, hoses, and filters
for each type of refrigerant recovered. Store refrigerants in a cool,
dry place.
Never overfill a storage container. Overfilled tanks can rupture and explode.
Use a refrigerant scale such as INFICON Wey-TEK to prevent overfill.
When opening service or cylinder valves, do so slowly, to ensure all
connections are secure and free of danger.
Disconnect power before moving or servicing Vortex Dual.
The risk of electric shock and exposure to hot compressor parts is possible
if the Vortex Dual covers are removed. Vortex Dual should only be opened by a
qualified technician who has been trained in basic electronics
and refrigeration.
Use only the power cord supplied by INFICON. If the cord is lost or
damaged, contact INFICON for information on obtaining a replacement.
