Environment
Ambient temperature range
Transmitter –40 to +60 °C (–40 to +140 °F)
Local display –20 to +60 °C (–4 to +140 °F), the readability of the display may be
impaired at temperatures outside the temperature range.
Sensor • Flange material carbon steel: –10 to +60 °C (+14 to +140 °F)
• Flange material stainless steel: –40 to +60 °C (–40 to +140 °F)
Mount the transmitter separately from the sensor if both the ambient
and fluid temperatures are high.
Liner Do not exceed or fall below the permitted temperature range of the liner
(→ 32).
If operating outdoors:
• Install the measuring device in a shady location.
• Avoid direct sunlight, particularly in warm climatic regions.
• Avoid direct exposure to weather conditions.
• Protect the display against impact.
• Protect the display from abrasion by sand in desert areas.
A display protector can be ordered from Endress+Hauser: "Accessories" section (→ 87)
Storage temperature
The storage temperature corresponds to the operating temperature range of the measuring
transmitter and the appropriate measuring sensors.
• Protect the measuring device against direct sunlight during storage in order to avoid unacceptably
high surface temperatures.
• Select a storage location where moisture cannot collect in the measuring device as fungus or
bacteria infestation can damage the liner.
• If protection caps or protective covers are mounted these should never be removed before
installing the measuring device.
Atmosphere
If a plastic transmitter housing is permanently exposed to certain steam and air mixtures, this can
damage the housing.
If you are unsure, please contact your Endress+Hauser Sales Center for clarification.
