6 Operation
This chapter gives examples of typical instrument applications and instructions on how to operate the
instrument properly and safely.
!
CAUTION
Risk of minor or moderate cuts when handling damaged glass parts.
• Handle glass parts with care.
• Visually inspect every glass part before mounting.
• Exchange damaged glass parts immediately.
• Do not touch cracks or bits of broken glass with bare hands.
ATTENTION
Switch on the K-415 before a connected instrument produces gases. Check the level of the liquid in
the neutralization vessel before putting the scrubber into operation - the optimal liquid level can be
checked against the blue filling mark (wave) on the neutralization vessel.
If the K-415 is controlled via a digester do not switch the K-415 off. If the K-415 is equipped with
cooling water control (
ECO
-versions) leave the external cooling water supply switched on as well.
