Safety Instructions; Correct Use And Description Of The Device; Unpacking - IKA C 248 Mode D'emploi

For your protection
Read the operating instructions in full before
starting up and follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where they can be
accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the appliance.
• Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational health
and safety and accident prevention regulations.
Work with the device
Before use, check the outlet pres-
DANGER
sure on the pressure reducer and
compare it with the pressure dis-
played on the pressure gauge.
Oxygen as a compressed gas is
oxidising; intensively aids combus-
tion; can react violently with flam-
mable materials.
Use
The IKA C 248 oxygen filling station is only suitable for filling de-
composition vessels C 5010 with oxygen.

Unpacking

• Please unpack the device carefully.
• In the case of any damage a detailed report must be sent
immediately (post, rail or forwarder).

Safety instructions

Correct use and description of the device

Unpacking
• The filling time should not be set to less than 30 seconds.
This will prevent combustible substances from being whirled
around in the crucible.
• Insufficient ventilation can cause formation of explosive mix-
tures. Therefore, only use the device in well-ventilated areas.
• Check the seals for damage before each use.
• After finishing work, the oxygen supply on the pressure redu-
cer must be closed.
For protection of the device
Maintenance tasks should be per-
DANGER
formed without any excess pres-
sure on the system.
• Keep lines and fittings through which oxygen flows free of
grease.
Description of the device
• The 2 m pressure hose, included with delivery, can easily be
laid to connect to the oxygen bottle.
• Therefore, the location of the C 248 filling station does not
depend on the oxygen bottle being in the immediate vicinity.
• The filling pressure that is set and the pressure in the decom-
position vessel can be read directly from the manometer of
the C 248 (11), thus preventing insufficient filling quantities
because of not observing the minimum filling period.
• Constant opening and reasoning on the oxygen bottle are
void because the automatic non-return valve (bulb compl. (2))
only opens if a decomposition vessel is being filled.
