Safety Precautions

Hazardous Locations

The Sigma 900 MAX Refrigerated Sampler is not approved for use in hazardous locations as defined in the National Electrical Code.

DANGER

Although some Sigma products are designed and certified for installation in hazardous locations as defined by the National Electrical Code, many Sigma products are not suitable for use in hazardous locations. It is the responsibility of the individuals who are installing the products in hazardous locations to determine the acceptability of the product for the environment. Additionally, to ensure safety, the installation of instrumentation in hazardous locations must be per the manufacturer's control drawing specifications. Any modification to the instrumentation or the installation is not recommended and may result in life threatening injury and/or damage to facilities.

DANGER

Bien que certains produits Sigma soient conçus et certifiés pour être installés dans des endroits dangereux tels que définis par le National Electric Code, de nombreux produits Sigma ne conviennent pas pour de tels endroits. Il relève de la responsabilité des personnes qui placent les produits dans des endroits dangereux de déterminer s'ils sont adaptés à cet environnement. En outre, à des fins de sécurité, le placement de machines dans des endroits dangereux doit s'effectuer dans le respect des consignes des schémas de contrôle du fabricant. Toute modification apportée aux machines ou tout déplacement de celles-ci est déconseillé, car susceptible de provoquer des accidents matériels et/ou corporels.

Confined Space Entry

Important Note: The following information is provided to guide users of samplers on the dangers and risks associated with entry into confined spaces.

On April 15, 1993, OSHA's final ruling on CFR 1910.146, Permit Required Confined Spaces, became law. This new standard directly affects more than 250,000 industrial sites in the United States and was created to protect the health and safety of workers in confined spaces.

Definition of Confined Space

A Confined Space is any location or enclosure that presents or has the immediate potential to present one or more of the following conditions:

•An atmosphere with less than 19.5% or greater than 23.5% oxygen and/or more than 10 ppm Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)

•An atmosphere that may be flammable or explosive due to gases, vapors, mists, dusts, or fibers

•Toxic materials which upon contact or inhalation, could result in injury, impairment of health, or death

Confined spaces are not designed for human occupancy. They have restricted entry and contain known or potential hazards. Examples of confined spaces include manholes, stacks, pipes, vats, switch vaults, and other similar locations.

Standard safety procedures must always be followed prior to entry into confined spaces and/or locations where hazardous gases, vapors, mists, dusts, or fibers may be present. Before entering any confined space check with your employer for procedures related to confined space entry
