FLOWSIC100 Operating Instructions
Gas Velocity Monitor
1 Safety Instructions
1.1 Intended Use
The FLOWSIC100 measuring system was designed for contactless measurement of gas
velocity and temperature or volume flow. It must only be used in the manner intended by
the manufacturer. In particular, it is important that:
• The system is operated in accordance with the technical data and specifications
regarding assembly, connection, ambient, and operating conditions (see the
documentation supplied, the order documents, device documents, and rating plates)
• All of the measures required to maintain the device, e.g. maintenance and inspection,
transport and storage, are provided.
1.2 Authorized Personnel
Those responsible for personal safety must ensure that:
• All work on the measuring system is carried out by qualified personnel and checked by
the experts responsible.
These persons must be qualified by virtue of their expertise (training, education,
experience) or understanding of the relevant standards, specifications, accident
prevention regulations, and properties of the system. It is crucial that these persons be
able to identify and avoid potential hazards in good time.
Technical experts are those persons defined in DIN VDE 0105, or IEC 364, or directly
equivalent standards.
• These persons must be familiar with the hazards posed during operation, such as those
caused by hot, toxic, explosive, or pressurized gases, gas/liquid mixtures, or other media,
and must have received special training on how to operate the measuring system.
1.3 Safety Information and Protective Measures
1.3.1 General Notes
