WARNING
Probes with non-conducting surfaces
• 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.
Eliminate the risk of ESD discharge prior to dismounting the transmitter head
from the probe.
• Probes may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge
under extreme conditions. During any type of installation or maintenance
in a potentially explosive atmosphere, the responsible person should
make sure that any ESD risks are eliminated before attempting to separate
the probe from the transmitter head.
