A. INTRODUCTION
The emergency safety showers are designed and
manufactured according to current technical
knowledge and are totally operationally safe. In all
aspects, the showers fulfil provisions of pertinent
standards and directives, such as EN 15154-1 and EN
15154-2. These instructions contain important
information on mounting, use and operation so that
faults can be eliminated as a result of incorrect use
emergency showers. The instructions are based on
legal regulations and EU directives. If the showers are
used in a different environment, local regulations
must be respected. The guidelines contained in these
instructions must be observed. Please read carefully
these instructions and store them near the equipment
in case of possible doubts. The operator should
provide for sufficient safety and check equipment so
that proper operation of the shower can be
guaranteed according to the given purpose.
A.1. USE
The emergency safety showers should – if possible
–be used for the intended purpose only.
Location of the shower should be selected
according to the regulation EN 15154-2.
Access to the shower must be free all the
time.
During assembly, maintenance,
adjustment, repair or mounting of fittings,
it is necessary to observe our specific
instructions as well as established
technical rules specified in EN 15154-1 and
EN 15154-2. Data on use restrictions,
accessories and spare parts are indicated
in the current leaflet or in technical data
sheets.
• It is necessary to be aware of external factors, such
as pressure, temperature and/or vibrations.
• Under extreme climatic conditions, it is necessary to
consider selection of materials in combination with
additional corrosion protection.
• Fittings must be mounted in a frost-free
environment. If the environment is exposed to frost,
suitable measures must be taken against freezing.
• Maintenance and repairs must only be done by
authorized professionals using original spare parts.
The spare parts can be purchased from the
manufacturer.
The emergency safety showers differ in
the design and installation method.
Installation done in a different way,
incompetent installation, misuse,
unsuitable operating conditions, incorrect
maintenance, unauthorized changes,
operation by unqualified personnel or use
of other than the original spare parts are
inadmissible. They result in loss of the
guarantee, authorization and conformity
with specific standards.
A.2. INSTALLATION
Fittings can only be mounted by trained and qualified
professional workers. The pipeline must be laid in
such a way that the harmful forces induced by it
cannot affect the fittings. During construction works
done near the installation place, the fitting must be
provided with a protective cover.
Before the fitting is mounted, the pipeline must be
cleaned; it must contain no rust, welding remains,
etc. Before commissioning the new equipment as well
as after repairs, the pipeline must be flushed
professionally.
Impurities from unflushed and dirty
pipeline may damage the sealing or other
parts of the fittings, or even result in an
accident during the shower operation!
Make sure that the connected pipeline is really clean.
Heed that there is no stress in the installation! After
installation or repair, function and tightness of the
system must be verified.
