Solitrend MMP40 Basic safety instructions
Endress+Hauser 7
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 Designated use
Application and media
The measuring device described in this manual is intended for the continuous moisture
measurement of a wide variety of materials. Because of its operating frequency of approx.
1 GHz, the device can also be used outside of closed metal vessels.
If operated outside of closed vessels, the device must be mounted in accordance with the
instructions in the "Installation" section. The operation of the devices does not present any
health risk. If the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and the conditions listed in
the manual and additional documentation are observed, the measuring device may be used
for the following measurements only:
• Measured process variables: material moisture, material conductivity and material
temperature
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper operating condition throughout the
operating period:
‣Use the device only for media to which the process-wetted materials are sufficiently
resistant.
‣Observe the limit values in "Technical data".
Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
Clarification of borderline cases:
‣For special materials and media used for cleaning, the manufacturer is happy to
provide assistance in verifying the corrosion resistance of medium-wetted materials,
but disclaims any warranty or liability.
Residual risks
Due to heat transfer from the process as well as power dissipation within the electronics,
the temperature of the electronics housing and the assemblies contained therein may rise
to 70 °C (158 °F) during operation. During operation, the sensor can reach a temperature
close to the medium temperature.
Danger of burns from contact with surfaces!
‣In the event of elevated medium temperatures, ensure protection against contact to
prevent burns.

2.3 Workplace safety
When working on and with the device:
‣Wear the required personal protective equipment according to federal/national
regulations.
2.4 Operational safety
Risk of injury.
‣Operate the device in proper technical condition and fail-safe condition only.
‣The operator is responsible for interference-free operation of the device.
Conversions to the device
Unauthorized modifications to the device are not permitted and can lead to unforeseeable
dangers.
‣If, despite this, modifications are required, consult with the manufacturer.
Repair
To ensure continued operational safety and reliability,
‣Carry out repairs on the device only if they are expressly permitted.
‣Observe federal/national regulations pertaining to repair of an electrical device.
‣Use original spare parts and accessories from the manufacturer only.
Hazardous area
To eliminate a danger for persons or for the facility when the device is used in the
hazardous area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety):
‣Based on the nameplate, check whether the ordered device is permitted for the
intended use in the hazardous area.
‣Observe the specifications in the separate supplementary documentation that is an
integral part of these Instructions.
2.5 Product safety
This measuring device is designed in accordance with good engineering practice to meet
state-of-the-art safety requirements, has been tested, and left the factory in a condition in
which it is safe to operate.
It meets general safety standards and legal requirements. It also complies with the EC
directives listed in the device-specific EC Declaration of Conformity. The manufacturer
confirms this by affixing the CE mark to the device.
