ual.
Basically applicable:
● Always comply with the statutory provisions and the associated technical rules and reg-
ulations relevant to the equipment when preparing for and carrying out any work on the
measuring system. Pay particular attention to potentially hazardous aspects of the
equipment, such as pressurized piping and explosion protection zones. Always pay spe-
cial attention to the relevant regulations.
● All work must be carried out in accordance with the local, system-specific conditions
and with due consideration to operating hazards and specifications.
● The Operating Instructions belonging to the measuring system as well as system docu-
mentation must be available on site. Always observe the information on the prevention
of injuries and damage given therein.
● Depending on the particular hazard potential, an adequate number of suitable protec-

1.2.4 Hazards by hot, corrosive and explosive gases, or high pressure
The FLOWSIC600-XT is fitted directly in the gas-carrying line. The operating company is
responsible for safe operation and for complying with additional national and company-
specific regulations.
WARNING: Hazards by the gas in the system
The following conditions can increase the risk:
● Toxic gas or gas dangerous to health
● Chemically aggressive gas
● Explosive gas
● High gas pressure
● High gas temperature
▸
In installations with an increased risk, the FLOWSIC600-XT may only be
fitted and removed when the line is vented or when the installation is at a
standstill.
▸
The same applies to repair and service work which involves opening any
pressurized component or the explosion-proof SPU.
Otherwise health or injury risks can possibly arise through escaping gas (e.g.
poisoning, burns).
WARNING: Hazards through leaks
Operation in leaky condition is not allowed and potentially dangerous.
▸
Regularly check leak tightness of equipment.
