This safety information does not take into account:
• any contingencies or occurences that may arise during installation, use and maintenance of the devices.
• the local safety regulations for which the operating company is responsible including the staff in charge of installation and
maintenance.
Danger due to electrical voltage.
• Shut down the electrical power source of all the conductors and isolate it before carrying out work on the system.
• Observe all applicable accident protection and safety regulations for electrical equipment.
risk of injury due to high pressure in the installation.
• Stop the circulation of fluid, cut off the pressure and drain the pipe before loosening the process connections.
risk of injury due to high fluid temperatures.
• Use safety gloves to handle the device.
• Stop the circulation of fluid and drain the pipe before loosening the process connections.
risk of injury due to the nature of the fluid.
• Respect the prevailing regulations on accident prevention and safety relating to the use of hazardous products.
Various dangerous situations
To avoid injury take care:
• not to use the device in explosive atmospheres.
• not to use the device in an environment incompatible with the materials it is made of.
• not to use the device for the measurement of gas flow rates.
• not to subject the device to mechanical loads (e.g. by placing objects on top of it or by using it as a step).
• not to make any external or internal modifications to the device.
• to prevent any unintentional power supply switch-on.
• to ensure that installation and maintenance work are carried out by qualified, authorised personnel in possession of the
appropriate tools.
• to guarantee a defined or controlled restarting of the process, after a power supply interruption.
• to use the device only if in perfect working order and in compliance with the instructions provided in the operating
instructions.
• to observe the general technical rules when installing and using the device.
note
the device may be damaged by the fluid in contact with.
• Systematically check the chemical compatibility of the component materials of the device and the fluids likely to come
into contact with it (for example: alcohols, strong or concentrated acids, aldehydes, alkaline compounds, esters, aliphatic
compounds, ketones, halogenated aromatics or hydrocarbons, oxidants and chlorinated agents).
note
elements / components sensitive to electrostatic discharges
• This device contains electronic components sensitive to electrostatic discharges. They may be damaged if they are
touched by an electrostatically charged person or object. In the worst case scenario, these components are instantly
destroyed or go out of order as soon as they are activated.
• To minimise or even avoid all damage due to an electrostatic discharge, take all the precautions described in the
EN 61340-5-1 and 5-2 norms.
• Also ensure that you do not touch any of the live electrical components.
