Additional Equipment
Additional equipment such as a Power Monitor, Temperature probe and a Flow meter should be fitted at all times when
using a pump in a potentially explosive atmosphere. The pump / unit must also be "Earth Grounded" at all times. A pump
should never be "Run Dry" especially in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres.
General Usage Precautions
1) The pump must be "Earth Grounded" at all times to prevent Electrostatic charge build up. (When an ATEX approved
pump is requested, a "Ground" contact point is provided or identified by the protective earth ground symbol.) The
electrical installation must conform to all location relevant codes.
2) The pump must not be used beyond its ratings and if the original operating conditions change, it is the users
responsibility to check with Pulsafeeder to confirm if the pump is still acceptable for the new operating conditions.
3) Pulsafeeder will only consider the pump safe for the purpose and duty conditions originally specified by the
purchaser. Pulsafeeder will not accept responsibility for pump failure or personal injury arising from mis-application
of
the
product.
4) In the event of any one of the following conditions occurring the pump should be shut down and the cause
investigated
and
rectified.
Unaccountable rise in discharge pressure
Release of liquid from the pressure relief mechanism
Excessive
noise
emissions
Unaccountable rise in operating temperature
Excessive
power
consumption
Loss
of
flow
5) Unauthorized modification or use of components other than original Pulsafeeder spares revokes any liability for
consequences, which may result.
6) A pressure relief method must be used at the discharge of the pump to provide over pressure protection. For ATEX
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres, a "return to tank type piping system" is recommended to prevent high
temperatures due to recycled fluid.
