Safety instructions 
 
 CAUTION 
Risk of burns due to hot measuring media 
The device surface temperature may exceed 70 °C (158 °F), 
depending on the measuring medium temperature! 
•  Before starting work on the device, make sure that it has 
cooled sufficiently. 
 
 
Aggressive or corrosive media may lead to the damage of 
wetted parts of the sensor. As a result, measuring medium under 
pressure can leak out. 
Wear to the flange gasket or process connection gaskets 
(e.g. pipe fitting, Tri-clamp, etc.) may caused a pressurized 
measuring medium to escape. 
When using internal flat gaskets, they can become brittle 
through CIP- / SIP processes. 
If pressure surges above the permissible nominal pressure of the 
device occur permanently during operation, this may affect the 
service life of the device. 
 
 
If there is a chance that safe operation is no longer possible, 
take the device out of operation and secure it against 
unintended startup. 
 
 
Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres 
 
Note 
•  An additional document with Ex safety instructions is 
available for measuring systems that are used in potentially 
explosive atmospheres. 
•  Ex safety instructions are an integral part of this manual. As 
a result, it is crucial that the installation guidelines and 
connection values it lists are also observed.

Figure 67:  Position of the DIP switches 
 
DIP switches are located behind the front housing cover. The DIP 
switches are used to configure specific hardware functions. The 
power supply to the transmitter must be briefly interrupted in 
order for the modified setting to take effect. 
 
Write-protect switch 
When write protection is activated, device parameterization 
cannot be changed via the LCD indicator. Activating and sealing 
the write protection switch protects the device against 
tampering

On Write protection active
Off Write protection deactivated.
 
Configuration of digital outputs 41 / 42 and 51 / 52 
The configuration (NAMUR, optoelectronic coupler) for the 
digital outputs on the basic device is set via DIP switches in the 
transmitter. 
 
Number Function
On  Digital output 41 / 42 and 51 / 52 as
NAMUR output.
Off  Digital output 41 / 42 and 51 / 52 as
optoelectronic coupler output.
