Safety instructions
1.1 Intended use
The thermometer for advanced requirements is used to measure the temperature of gases,
liquids, vapour and solids in industrial applications. The devices are particularly suited to the
measurement of
• liquids with low viscosity,
• water and chemicals with low corrosiveness,
• saturated steam and superheated steam.
1.2 Approvals and certifications
1.2.1 CE
Article 1, section 2.1.4 of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC does not apply to
thermometers for advanced requirements. For this reason, neither a conformity assessment nor
a CE marking is possible. The EC directives applicable to temperature transmitters are
contained in the corresponding transmitter documentation.
1.2.2 ATEX
ATEX approval is pending. As soon as this is available, you have the option of ordering Ex-
approval according to ATEX. The relevant Ex handbook contains more detailed information.
DANGER!
ATEX approval is pending. Until such approval has been granted, do not install or operate the
industrial thermometer for advanced requirements in potentially hazardous areas. Otherwise
you could cause an explosion that could have fatal consequences.
CAUTION!
Responsibility for the use of the measurement devices with regard to suitability, intended use
and corrosion resistance of the used materials against the measured fluid lies solely with the
operator.
INFORMATION!
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use for other than
the intended purpose.
