2.1 Requirements for the personnel
The personnel must fulfill the following requirements for its tasks:
‣
Trained, qualified specialists must have a relevant qualification for this specific function
and task.

2.2 Designated use
The Gammapilot M is a compact transmitter for non-contact level, point level, density and
concentration measurement. The measuring range of a single Gammapilot M is up to 2 m (6.6
ft). Large measuring ranges of any size can be implemented, however, by cascading several
Gammapilot M devices. When used for point level detection, the Gammapilot is certified
according to IEC 61508 for safety-related operation up to SIL 2/3.
2.3 Installation, commissioning and operation
The Gammapilot M is designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements and complies
with applicable standards and EC regulations. However, if it is used improperly or for
applications for which it is not intended, application-related hazards may arise, e.g. product
overflow due to incorrect installation or configuration. Installation, electrical connection,
commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measuring system must therefore be
carried out exclusively by trained specialists authorized to perform such work by the system
operator. Technical personnel must have read and understood these Operating Instructions
and must adhere to them. Modifications and repairs to the device may only be carried out if
they are expressly permitted in the Operating Instructions.
2.4 Hazardous area
