SAFETY MESSAGES Procedures and instructions in this manual may require special precautions to
ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that
raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol (
). Refer to
the safety messages listed at the beginning of each section before performing
an operation preceded by this symbol.
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious
injury.
• Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
• Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may
impair the protection provided by the equipment.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
• Verify that the operating environment of the transmitter is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
• Before connecting a HART ® -based communicator in an explosive atmosphere,
make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with
intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
• Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
High voltage that may be present on leads could cause electrical shock:
• Probes covered with plastic and/or with plastic discs may generate an
ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge under certain extreme conditions.
Therefore, when the probe is used in a potentially explosive atmosphere,
appropriate measures must be taken to prevent electrostatic discharge.
Any substitution of non-authorized parts or repair, other than exchanging the complete
transmitter head or probe assembly, may jeopardize safety and is prohibited.
Unauthorized changes to the product are strictly prohibited as they may unintentionally
and unpredictably alter performance and jeopardize safety. Unauthorized changes that
interfere with the integrity of the welds or flanges, such as making additional
perforations, compromise product integrity and safety. Equipment ratings and
certifications are no longer valid on any products that have been damaged or modified
without the prior written permission of Emerson Process Management. Any continued
use of product that has been damaged or modified without prior written authorization is
at the customer's sole risk and expense.
