2.1 First inspection
The measuring instrument has already been tested thoroughly at factory. At delivery, proceed to a visual control to make
sure that no damage has occurred during transportation.
Check that the specifications of the measuring instrument delivered correspond to the specifications given on the pur-
chase order.
The type and the serial number of the transmitter are shown on the nameplate. The transducer type is printed on the trans-
ducers.
2.2 General precautions
FLUXUS is a precision measuring instrument and has to be handled with care. In order to obtain good measurement re-
sults and avoid damaging the measuring instrument, it is important that great attention is paid to the instructions given in
this user manual, particularly to the following points:
• Protect the transmitter from shocks.
• The housing may only be opened by authorized personnel. The degree of protection of the transmitter will only be en-
sured if the cables fit firmly and tightly in the cable glands, the cable glands are firmly tightened and the housings are
tightly screwed.
• Keep the transducers clean. Manipulate the transducer cables with caution. Avoid excessive cable bends.
• Make sure to work under correct ambient and operating temperatures. The ambient temperature has to be within the op-
erating temperature range of the transmitter and the transducers (see Technical specification).
• Observe the degree of protection (see Technical specification).
2.3 Cleaning
• Clean the transmitter with a soft cloth. Do not use detergents.
• Remove traces of the coupling compound from the transducers with a soft paper towel.
Attention! Observe the "Safety instructions for the use in explosive atmospheres" (see document SIFLUXUS,
