**Allgemeine Erklärung**
This section provides an overview of the manual's purpose, which is to offer recommendations, advice, and requirements for the use of Watlow products. It emphasizes that the manual is not exhaustive and directs users to the Watlow website or customer service for additional information. It also stresses the importance of reading the manual carefully to ensure proper product usage and that the user assumes all risk and liability for any omissions.
* **Produktbeschreibung**
This section describes the MULTICELL™ Heaters, designed for a wide range of heating applications requiring high temperature performance, independent zone control, and interference fit. It notes that these heaters are primarily designed for main power supply and operate at 50 or 60 Hz, with optional DC operation. It highlights the importance of calculating operating current for proper wire sizing and component selection. It also mentions that a nominal temperature range is not provided as the heater is a component within the user's system.
* **Sicherheitsangaben**
This section details the safety labels used in the manual: GEFAHR (Danger), WARNUNG (Warning), and WARNUNG – Stromschlaggefahr (Warning – Electric Shock Hazard). Each label is explained with its associated meaning and the potential consequences of not adhering to the warnings.
* **Sicherheit (allgemein)**
This section outlines general safety requirements and recommendations for product use. It includes warnings about ensuring the installer uses appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and that the device should not be used by individuals with impaired sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience, unless supervised.
* **WARNUNG – Stromschlaggefahr**
This section provides a warning about electrical hazards associated with the heaters. It advises users to read the document thoroughly before installation and wiring, and to understand all points. It also mentions that the component operates hot and users should assess their own risk regarding contact with hot surfaces. It also notes that additional lifting equipment may be necessary due to the weight of some heaters.
* **WARNUNG – Stromschlaggefahr**
This section reiterates the warning about electric shock hazards, stating that installation and maintenance must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local safety standards. It also emphasizes not to interrupt the protective conductor/grounding, as this can create a hazardous situation.
* **ACHTUNG**
This section provides a caution regarding the product's compliance with the EMC Directive. It recommends that users ensure their equipment complies with all European directives, including the EMC Directive, if the equipment into which the heater is installed falls under its scope.
* **WARNUNG**
This section states that it is the user's responsibility to ensure the heater is correctly selected and installed for the intended application. It warns that using the heater in an application for which it was not designed could lead to equipment damage or personal injury. It provides an example of a immersion heater being unsuitable for heating gases due to its high power density. It also emphasizes that heater components must be connected according to the manufacturer's installation instructions and used only in suitable applications.
* **Typische Anwendungen**
This section lists typical applications for the MULTICELL™ Heaters:
- Isothermische Warmformgebung
- Bodensanierung
- Warmschmiedegesenke
- Beheizte Platten
- Superplastisches Formen (SPF)
- Beheizte Platten (einzelne und mehrere Zonen)
- Warmbehandlungsprozesse
- Superplastisches Formen mit Diffusionsschweißen
