1.1 Correct usage
• The Promag 33 measuring system is only to be used for measuring the flow of
conductive fluids. Most liquids can be measured provided they have a minimum
conductivity of ≥ 5 µS/cm, e.g.
– acids, alkalis, pastes, pulps,
– drinking water, wastewater, sewage sludge,
– milk, beer, wine, mineral water, yoghurt, molasses, etc.
A minimum conductivity of ≥ 20 µS/cm is required for measuring demineralised
water.
• The manufacturer assumes no liability for damage caused by incorrect use of the
instrument.
• Instruments which are used in the explosion hazardous area are supplied with a
separate “Ex documentation”, which is an
integral part
of this Operating Manual.
The instructions and connected loads provided in this supplement must absolutely
be observed. An appropriate icon is shown on the front of this document according
to the approval given and the test center (
