Reasonably Foreseeable Misuse; Transportation; Storage; Acclimatization - Heidolph Hei-TORQUE Expert Betriebsanleitung

General notes
The Hei-TORQUE Expert and Hei-TORQUE Ultimate overhead stirrers are suitable for use
in the following areas:
– Chemistry
– Pharmacy
– Biology
– Environmental analytics
– Basic research
– Research laboratories
Any other use of this device is not considered as intended!
Due to its design, the device in its delivery condition may only be used in analytical
processes or in laboratory-like conditions in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical
industries as well as other comparable industries that manufacture products intended
for consumption by humans or animals, or for use on humans or animals

Reasonably foreseeable misuse

For use under conditions or for purposes deviating from the intended use, additional
measures may become necessary, and/or specific guidelines and safety regulations will
have to be observed (see section "Special hygiene measures for the use of labora-
tory equipment in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical production" on page 64).
Corresponding requirements must be evaluated and observed by the operator in each
individual case.
Compliance with and implementation of all relevant guidelines and safety measures for
the respective field of application is within the sole responsibility of the operator.
All risks resulting from improper use are solely borne by the operator.
The device may exclusively be operated by authorized and instructed personnel.
Training and qualification of the operating personnel as well as ensuring that the device
is operated with responsibility are the sole responsibility of the operator!

Transportation

During transport, avoid severe shocks and mechanical stresses that can cause damage
to the device.
Keep the original packaging in a dry and protected place for later use.

Storage

Always store the device in its original packaging. To protect against damage and
unreasonable material aging, store the device in a dry environment that should be as
temperature-stable and dust-free as possible.
Recommended ambient conditions for storage:
• 5 °C – 31 °C up to 80 % rel. humidity
• 32 °C – 40 °C up to 50 % rel. humidity (decreasing linearly)

Acclimatization

After each transport and after storage under critical climatic conditions (e.g. high
temperature difference between inside and outside), allow the device to acclimatize
at room temperature for a minimum of two hours to prevent possible damage from
condensation before putting it into operation at the place of use. If necessary, extend
the acclimatization phase if the temperature differences are very high.
Make all supply connections (power supply, tubing) only after the device has been
acclimatized!
