Ambient Condition; Operating Conditions; Safety During Operation - StarLab Aspirator Mode D'emploi

1.5 Ambient conditions
To the best of our knowDELge the equipment is in compliance with the requirements of the applicable EC-directives
NOTICE
and harmonized standards (see "Declaration of conformity") with regard to design, type and model, especially
directive DIN EN 61010-1. This directive gives, in detail, conditions, under which the equipment can be operated
safely (see also IP degree of protection). Adopt suitable measures in case of differences, e.g. using the equipment
outdoors, installation in higher altitudes, conductive pollution or bedewing. Pay attention to the permissible maximum
ambient temperatures (see "Technical data").

Safety during operation

›
DANGER
Incompatible chemicals and agents
Acids or acidic compounds (e.g. hydrochloric acid,
aluminium chloride)
Ammonia containing compounds (e.g. ammonium
hydroxide, quarternary ammonium salts)
Organic chemicals (e.g. solvents, polymers, amines, oils)
Metals (e.g. copper, iron)
Hydrogen peroxide
Reducing agents (e.g. sodium thiosulfate)
Guanidine salts (e.g. guanidine hydrochloride, guanidine
thiocyanate)
6 · Aspirator · Manual
The devices have no approval for operation in, or for pumping of, potentially explosive atmospheres.
The devices are not suitable to pump:
- unstable substances and substances which react explosively under impact (mechanical stress) and/or when
being exposed to elevated temperatures without air,
- self inflammable substances,
- substances which are inflammable without air
- explosive substance
The pumps have no approval for operation below ground.
The pumps are not suitable for pumping dust.
The devices are not suitable for pumping substances which may form deposits inside the pump. Deposits and
condensate in the pump may lead to increased temperatures even to the point of exceeding the maximum
permitted temperatures! Increased temperatures may cause ignition of inflammable substances that may have
been deposited inside the pump during use.
If there is a danger of the formation of deposits in the pump chamber (check inlet and outlet of the pump), inspect
the pump chamber regularly and clean if necessary.
Take into consideration interactions and chemical reactions of the pumped media.
Ensure that the materials of the wetted parts are compatible with the pumped substances, see section
"Technical data".
Avoid interactions of media in the collection bottle. Comply with material safety data sheets and notes on safe use
of the manufacturer. Do not mix incompatible disinfectants and/or incompatible reagents / solvents or any
unknown substances.
For example sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach)
Possible results of mixing with sodium hypochlorite
(chlorine bleach)
Release of chlorine gas
Formation of explosive compounds, release of chlorine gas and other
hazardous gases
Formation of chlorinated organics, release of chlorine gas and other
hazardous gases
Release of oxygen, overpressure, rupture of a closed system
Production of heat, boiling
Release of toxic gases, e.g. chlorine, chloramine, hydrogen cyanide
