Switching Off; Service And Maintenance - GCE UNISET Instrucciones Para El Uso

For safety reasons all shut-off valves should to be opened slowly and smoothly . Shut-off valves can be fully
open after inlet and outlet pressures are balanced and after a leak tight check of all connections .
Ensure only the correct gas supply is connected to the outlet point . (see chapter 5 .3 .) Connection of the
incorrect gas supply could lead to explosion or fire, causing personnel injury and damage to property .
7 .1 . CHECKS BEFORE OPERATING
EN
Before use it must be ensured that:
•
The outlet point is securely installed.
•
All connections are tight with no leakage. When using leak detection fluid, protect the internal parts of the
outlet point from entering of fluid as this will be detrimental to the long term function of the outlet point
•
The complete system has been purged with inert gas.
•
Ball valve (2) is closed and the pressure adjusting handwheel (3) is screwed fully out.
7 .2 . USE OF THE GAS FROM OUTLET POINT
•
Connect hose from the installed application equipment to the hose nipple (7).
•
Slowly open the ball valve (2) until it is fully open.
•
Regulate the gas pressure to your process requirements by rotating the adjusting handwheel (3) and
observing the gauge (4) or flow-meter (5).

7 .3 . SWITCHING OFF

•
Close the ball valve (2).
•
Unscrew the adjusting handwheel (3) to fully open.
8 .
LIFETIME
•
The outlet tapping point has a lifetime of 10 years. After end of the lifetime, complete outlet point should be
disposed off.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

•
The outlet point should be inspected regularly for damage or leakage. All connections and seals must be leak
tested every 6 months, at least, or as deemed necessary by local working practices.
•
All threaded connections and flexible lines need to be checked after an appropriate period of time in
accordance with local operating conditions, but must be inspected at least once yearly.
•
Regulators, safety valves, filters and flexible hoses contain parts made from plastics, elastomers and other
flexible materials. In time they may degrade through exposure to excessive temperature variation, UV-
radiation and excessive use in harsh working environments. It is therefore recommended that these parts are
replaced after 5 years. Local standards codes of practice and guidelines should be followed.
•
All inspections and tests must be documented, in line with local quality/safety management systems.
•
Only GCE authorised service agents may service or repair the manifold. Contact GCE Technical Service for
further information about service available in your area.
•
For warranty claims contact sales representative or installation company.

PRODUCT DISPOSAL RECYCLING
Prior to disposal the outlet point must be purged of any residues of toxic material. The outlet point must be
disposed of through a licensed waste disposal agent, not as general municipal waste. It is also good working
practice and commercially beneficial that the outlet point is dismantled and segregated into metallic parts
(ferrous and non ferrous) and non metallic parts (plastics, elastomers etc) for recycling prior to disposal.
