Tab.7:
The classification of gases and vapors into groups with re-
spect to explosion group and temperature class applies for
the transferred medium.
The device must only be used to transfer gases and vapors
that belong to the respective explosion group and the corre-
sponding temperature class (or lower), (see designation on
the type plate) or which are not explosive and not com-
bustible.
