Otherwise
– Any warranty by the manufacturer becomes void
– The FLOWSIC500 can become dangerous
– The approval for use in potentially explosive atmospheres is no longer valid
– The approval fur use in lines pressurized above 0.5 bar (7.25 psi) bar is no longer
valid.
WARNING: Ignition hazard through electrostatic charges
In certain extreme conditions in gas group IIC, unprotected plastic parts and
non-grounded enclosure metal parts can reach an ignitable measure of
electrostatic charges.
▸
Take precautionary measures to prevent electrostatic charges, localize, e.g.
the components where a charge generating mechanism could occur (e.g.
due to dust deposits caused by wind) and clean these with a damp cloth.
NOTICE: Cleaning information
▸
Only clean the FLOWSIC500 with a damp cloth.
▸
Do not use solvents for cleaning.
▸
Only use materials for cleaning which do not damage the surface of the
FLOWSIC500.
NOTICE:
Skilled persons are persons in accordance with DIN VDE 0105 or IEC 364, or
directly comparable standards.
These persons must have exact knowledge on hazards arising from operation,
e.g. through hot, toxic, explosive gases or gases under pressure, gas-liquid
mixtures or other media as well as adequate knowledge of the measuring
system gained through training.
