Safety instructions Cubemass DCI MODBUS RS485
6 Endress+Hauser
• Danger - hot surfaces! Hot fluids passing through the measuring tube increase the surface
temperature of the sensor housing. Temperatures close to the fluid temperature must be
expected. If fluid temperatures are high, take suitable measures to protect against scalding from
the hot surfaces.
1.4 Return
The following procedures must be carried out before a flowmeter requiring repair or calibration, for
example, is returned to Endress+Hauser:
• Always enclose a duly completed "Declaration of Contamination" form. Only then can
Endress+Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per
Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 REACH.
• Remove all residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain residues. This is particularly important if the substance is hazardous to health, e.g.
flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic etc.
!
Note!
You will find a preprinted "Declaration of Contamination and Cleaning" form at the back of this
operating manual.
#
Warning!
• Do not return a measuring device if it is not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused
through plastic.
• Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (burns etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be
charged to the owner-operator.
