1.5 Safety equipment

Position The retract protection prevents the

“service” insertion rod from retracting without

sensor in the process as this would
cause a leakage of process liquid.

• The sensor can only be installed/

removed when the holder is in the
“service” position.

• Disabling the retract protection is

considered as negligence.

Position In the “measuring” position the

“measuring” sensor is immersed in the drive unit.

• You cannot remove the sensor.

• Trying to remove the sensor

in the “measuring” position is
considered as negligence!

Protection You may adjust the protection cage

cage at the end of the insertion rod in

order to protect the sensor from
mechanical impacts.

1.6 Staff

Qualifications Leave installation and servicing of

the retractable holder to trained staff!

Protective The operation staff must wear

clothing goggles and applicable protective

clothing during commissioning and
servicing works.

Accident Observe work safety laws and

prevention regulations applicable in the
regulations operator’s country and at the site of

use!

1.7 Disposal

Observe regulations and rules for waste disposal
applicable in the operator’s country and at the site
of use.

1.8 Symbols and pictograms

Pictograms and symbols are used in

the operation manual to provide better
orientation.

The safety note with the

DANGER! signal

indicates the risk of personal danger and
high material damage in case of failure to
observe the instructions.

The safety note with the

CAUTION! signal

indicates the risk of material damage in case
of failure to observe the instructions.

Indicates an important note!

This sign indicates that the operations

should be carried out in the specified order.

1.9 Reliable Use in Explosive

Atmospheres

For a reliable use under potential explosive
conditions please regard the following remarks:

• Avoid electrostatic charges on the top of the drive

unit. Wipe with an antistatic cloth only.

• The electrostatic charge must be taken into

account in case of parts not made of a conductive
material. This applies particularly for non-
conductive fluids.

• The sensor must conform to Directive 94/9EC and

the ambient temperatures must be observed.

• It must be ensured that the compressed air does

not contain a potentially explosive atmosphere.

• It must be ensured that the extension and

retraction movements of the sensor do not
damage the connection.

• The various temperature classes of the different

materials must be observed.

• A liquid potential equalisation must be ensured.
