3. FIRE AND EXPLOSION

Risk of serious injuries or death

Fuels and fumes associated with generating sets can be flammable and potentially explo- sive. Proper care in handling these materials can dramatically limit the risk of fire or explo- sion. However, safety dictates that fully charged BC and ABC fire extinguishers are kept on hand. Personnel must know how to operate them.

•The acids in the battery can cause explosion.

•Avoid any contact between the tools and the terminals in the battery.

•Never use metallic objects on the neck or hands when handling the set.

•Never connect the negative terminal from the battery to the positive terminal

from

the starter.

•Don’t smoke or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the fuel or batteries.

•Use adequate equipment to take fuel from the set.

•Never test the battery by touching together the terminals.

•Ensure the generating set room is properly ventilated.

•Don’t touch the battery charger or the connections during the battery charging proc- ess.

•Always disconnect the negative terminal from the battery before to start any work on the unit.

•Keep the room, the floor and the generating set clean. When spills of fuel, oil, battery electrolyte or coolant occur they should be cleaned up immediately.

•Never store flammable liquids near the engine.

•Store oily rags in covered metal containers.

•Avoid refilling the fuel tank while the engine is running.

•Do not attempt to operate the generating set with any known leaks in the fuel system.

4.INSTALLATION, HANDLING AND TOWING

•Make electrical connections in compliance with relevant electrical codes, standards or other requirements. This in- cludes requirements for grounding and ground/earth faults.

•For stationary generating sets with remote fuel storage systems, make sure such systems are installed in compliance with relevant codes, standards or other requirements.

•Engine exhaust emissions are hazardous to personnel. The exhaust for all indoor generating sets must be piped out- doors via leak-free piping in compliance with relevant codes, standards and other requirements. Ensure hot exhaust silencers, piping and turbochargers, if equipped, are clear of combustible material and are guarded for personnel protection per safety requirements. Ensure that fumes from the exhaust outlet will not be hazard.

•Never lift the generating set by attaching to the engine or alternator lifting lugs. Use a sling with a “spreader bar” connected to the base frame.

•Ensure the lifting rigging and supporting structure is in good condition and has capacity suitable for the load.

•Keep all personnel away from the generating set when it is suspended.

•Make sure all personnel are out of the generating set canopy or container, if equipped, before closing and latching enclosure doors.

•When towing a mobile generating set, observe all codes, standards or other regulations and traffic laws. These in- clude those regulations specifying required equipment and maximum and minimum speeds. Ensure brakes, if fitted, are in good order.

•Do not permit personnel to ride in or on the mobile generating set. Do not permit personnel to stand or ride on the drawbar or to stand or walk between the generating set and the towing vehicle.

•Do not install or use the generating set in any classification of hazardous environment unless it has been specifically designed for that environment.

Each of these products is engineered with distinct features and technologies aimed at enhancing acoustic performance, durability, and aesthetics in various commercial spaces.

The ACUM84 is designed for spaces that prioritize sound absorption and overall acoustic quality. It utilizes advanced sound-dampening technology, making it suitable for environments such as offices, schools, and healthcare facilities. This tile achieves a high Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC), effectively minimizing sound reverberation, which is essential for maintaining concentration in busy settings.

Similarly, the ACUM210 offers enhanced acoustic properties but with a focus on durability. This tile is constructed with a robust material that is resistant to impact and moisture, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas. The fabric-like texture not only adds aesthetic value but also improves its sound-absorbing capabilities, contributing to a quieter environment.

For those seeking a versatile solution, the ACUM65 is an ideal option. This tile is lightweight yet durable, making installation straightforward. Its ecological design ensures minimal environmental impact while providing superior acoustic performance. The ACUM65 is particularly well-suited for retail spaces, where customer experience can be significantly enhanced by better sound control.

ACUM140 is engineered for flexibility and design versatility. With a range of finishes and colors, it allows architects and designers to incorporate acoustic solutions that harmonize with the overall aesthetic of the space. Its high NRC rating ensures a calm auditory environment, making it an excellent fit for restaurants and auditoriums.

Lastly, the ACUM185 combines aesthetics with functionality, offering a sleek design while maintaining outstanding sound absorption capabilities. It meets the demands of contemporary styling without compromising performance. This tile is particularly favored in corporate environments where aesthetics play a crucial role in branding and employee satisfaction.

In conclusion, Armstrong's ACUM product line, including ACUM84, ACUM210, ACUM65, ACUM140, and ACUM185, showcases technologies and characteristics that cater to a variety of applications.
