3. BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION
This safety information does not take into account:
• any contingencies or occurrences that may arise during assembly, use and maintenance of the device.
• the local safety regulations that the operator must ensure the staff in charge of installation and maintenance
observe.
Danger due to high pressure in the installation.
• Stop the circulation of fluid, cut off the pressure and drain the pipe before loosening the process connections.
Danger due to electrical voltage.
• Shut down and isolate the electrical power source before carrying out work on the system.
• Observe all applicable accident protection and safety regulations for electrical equipment.
Danger due to high fluid temperatures.
• Use safety gloves to handle the device.
• Stop the circulation of fluid and drain the pipes before loosening the process connections.
Danger due to the nature of the fluid.
• Respect the regulations on accident prevention and safety relating to the use of aggressive fluids.
Various dangerous situations.
To avoid injury take care:
• to prevent any unintentional power supply switch-on.
• to carry out the installation and maintenance work by qualified and skilled staff with the appropriate tools.
• to guarantee a set or controlled restarting of the process after a power supply interruption.
• to use the device only if in perfect working order and in compliance with the instructions provided in the user
manual.
• to observe the general technical rules during the planning and use of the device.
• not to use this device in explosive atmospheres.
• not to use this device in an environment incompatible with the materials from which it is made.
• not to make any external modifications to the device. Do not paint or varnish any part of the device.
• not to use fluid that is incompatible with the materials of which the transmitter is made.
• not to subject the device to mechanical loads (e.g. by placing objects on top of it or by using it as a step).
NOTE
The device may be damaged by the fluid in contact with.
• Systematically check the chemical compatibility of the component materials of the transmitter and the fluids
likely to come into contact with it (for example: alcohols, strong or concentrated acids, aldehydes, alkaline
compounds, esters, aliphatic compounds, ketones, halogenated aromatics or hydrocarbons, oxidants and
chlorinated agents).
