Select the appropriate level probe with regard to scale range, performance
and specific measurement conditions prior to installing and starting the
instrument.
Observe the relevant national regulations (e.g.: EN 50178, NEC, CEC) and
observe the applicable standards and directives for special applications.
If you do not observe the appropriate regulations, serious injuries and/
or damage can occur!
Please make sure that the level probe is only used within the overload threshold limit all
the time!
Observe the ambient and working conditions outlined in section 7 „Technical data”.
Ensure that the level probe is only operated in accordance with the provisions i.e. as
described in the following instructions.
Do not interfere with or change the level probe in any other way than described in these
operating instructions.
Remove the level probe from service and mark it to prevent it from being used again acci-
dentally, if it becomes damaged or unsafe for operation
Take precautions with regard to remaining media in removed level probes. Remai-
ning media in the pressure port may be hazardous or toxic!
Have repairs performed by the manufacturer only.
Information about material consistency against corrosion and diffusion can be found in our
WIKA-Handbook, 'Pressure and Temperature Measurement'.

6. Packaging
Has everything been supplied?
Check the scope of supply:
Completely assembled level probes
EC-type examination certificate and Control Drawing (FM, CSA)
Inspect the level probe for possible damage during transportation. Should there be
any obvious damage, inform the transport company and WIKA without delay.
Keep the packaging, as it offers optimal protection during transportation (e.g. chan-
ging installation location, shipment for repair).
Ensure that the connection contacts will not be damaged.
7. Starting, operation
Diaphragm test for your safety
It is necessary that before starting the level probe you test the diaphragm, as this is a
safety-
relevant component.
Pay attention to any liquid leaking out, for this points to a diaphragm
damage.
Use the pressure transmitter only if the diaphragm is undamaged.
Use the pressure transmitter only if it is in a faultless condition as far as the
safety-relevant features are concerned.
Consider the details given in the EC-type examination certificate as well
as the respective country specific regulations for installation and operation
in hazardous areas (e.g.: IEC 60079-14, NEC, CEC). If you do not observe
these stipulations, serious injuries and/or damage can occur.
