2 Basic safety instructions
2.1 Requirements for the personnel
The personnel for installation, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance must fulfill
the following requirements:
‣Trained, qualified specialists must have a relevant qualification for this specific function
and task.
‣Are authorized by the plant owner/operator.
‣Are familiar with federal/national regulations.
‣Before starting work, read and understand the instructions in the manual and
supplementary documentation as well as the certificates (depending on the
application).
‣Follow instructions and comply with basic conditions.
The operating personnel must fulfill the following requirements:
‣Are instructed and authorized according to the requirements of the task by the facility's
owner-operator.
‣Follow the instructions in this manual.
2.2 Intended use
Application and media
The measuring device described in this manual is intended only for the level measurement
of liquids. Depending on the version ordered, the measuring device can also measure
potentially explosive, flammable, poisonous and oxidizing media.
If the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and the conditions listed in the
instructions and additional documentation are observed, the measuring device may be
used for the following measurements only:
‣Measured process variables: level
‣Calculable process variables: volume or mass in any shape of vessel (calculated from the
level by the linearization functionality)
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
‣Use the measuring device only for media to which the process-wetted materials have
an adequate level of resistance.
‣Observe the limit values in the "Technical data".
Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-intended use.
Clarification of borderline cases:
‣For special fluids and fluids for cleaning, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide assistance
in verifying the corrosion resistance of fluid-wetted materials, but does not accept any
warranty or liability.
Residual risks
Due to heat transfer from the process as well as power loss in the electronics, the
temperature of the electronics housing and the assemblies contained therein (e.g. display
module, main electronics module and I/O electronics module) may rise up to 80 °C (176
°F). When in operation, the sensor may reach a temperature close to the medium
temperature.
Danger of burns from contact with surfaces!
‣In the event of high medium temperatures, ensure protection against contact to
prevent burns.
