2 Safety
2.1 Proper use
o Flowmeter solely for flow measurement of lubricating liquids that are chemically neutral and that do
not contain gas or solid components.
o Flowmeters require the operation with clean liquids. If coarse soiling, solid particles in the liquid or
abrasive fine particles occur during operation, the flowmeter has to be protected additionally by a
correspondingly dimensioned operating filter in the pipe system.
o Use the flowmeter only within the operating limits specified on the rating plate and in the chapter
"Technical data". Deviating operating data can result in damage to the flowmeter. In the case of op-
erating data that do not agree with the specifications on the rating plate, please contact the manu-
facturer.
o Strong changes in the flow rate (for example rapid shutdown, pulsations, etc.) cause marked pres-
sure differences in the flowmeter and can damage the measuring unit. The pressure loss of the
flowmeter must not exceed the values shown in the chapter "Technical data"
2.2 Foreseeable misuse
o Any use that extends beyond the proper use or any other use is misuse.
o The product is not suitable for pumping liquids outside the operational limits.
o Any bypassing or deactivation of safety equipment during operation is prohibited.
