Instructions for use
Connect the chlorine tank to the automated dosing system via the injector. Follow any additional instructions of the automated dosing system. Open the valve. Set up the parameters of the system to obtain an active chlorine concentration in the water according to the application rates indicated for specific use. The injector is connected to measurement and control techniques that constantly check the chlorine concentration in the water and sound the alarm when necessary. Close the valve before disconnecting the pressure container.
Inform the CGV Chlorgas Vertriebs GmbH registration holder if the treatment is ineffective.

— an alarm system (trigger value corresponding to the AEC: 0,5 mg avCl/m
3
or lower according to the national legislation) is in place which initiates safety procedures like wearing respiratory protective equipment (RPE) according to the European Standard EN 14387 or equivalent (Respiratory protective devices - Gas filter(s) and combined filter(s) - Requirements, testing, marking),
— rRPE according to European Standard EN 14387 or equivalent (Respiratory protective devices - Gas filter(s) and combined filter(s) - Requirements, testing, marking) shall be at hand,
— application of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) (according to the national regulation) and low-pressure/vacuum are in place to avoid chlorine emission,
— the electrochemical sensors used for measurements shall detect various chlorinated species additional to chlorine itself,
— sensors shall measure exposure also when the operators are using RPE according to the European Standard EN 14387 or equivalent (Respiratory protective devices - Gas filter(s) and combined filter(s) - Requirements, testing, marking).
