DANGER: Risk of explosion when the gas flow meter is damaged
Natural gas flows with line pressure through the gas flow meter. Natural gas
can escape when the gas flow meter is damaged which creates a risk of
explosion.

protection devices.
▸
If the gas flow meter is damaged: Stop natural gas feed immediately and
purge the FLOWSIC500 with inert gas.
