Colour display
You can read all settings, when setting parameters and in diagnostics.
Left function key (Menu and/or Back)
This key (Menu) takes you from the main display to the main menu. The same key (Back) is
also used to exit the main menu and the submenus.
Rotary pushbutton
Use the rotary pushbutton to enter specific submenus. The functions can be selected using the
rotary pushbutton as well.
• Select the desired parameter or menus
• Navigation through the submenus and settings
• Selection of letters or numbers for parameter setting
Right function key (Input and/or Tab)
This key is used to confirm value entries (via numeric keys or letter keys).
For some parameters the right function key can be used as >Tab<. This Tab function is always
available when digits are visible in the upper right corner of the display. Then the Tab function
is used to switch between pages/displays. This applies to the following settings:
• Menu >Application<
Selecting the v-paths
Selecting the analog inputs / outputs

3.2 Warning notices on the product (option)
General warning label
This symbol is for operators to refer to this manual.
Observing the information contained therein is required in order to maintain protection mea-
sures provided by the instrument during installation procedures and operation.

4 Safeguards and Precautions
Working with NIVUS instruments requires to observe and to follow the safety measures
and precautions below generally and at any time. These notes and warnings will not be
repeated for each description within the document.
WARNING Germ contamination
Parts can be contaminated with dangerous germs, especially if the sensors are used in
waste water applications. Therefore, appropriate precautions must be taken when contac-
ting cables and sensors.
Wear protective clothing.
WARNING Observe occupational safety regulations
Before starting and while executing installation work, observing the work safety regulations
needs to be checked constantly.
Disregarding these regulations may lead to personal injury.
WARNING Do not disable safety devices!
It is strictly prohibited to disable the safety devices or to change the way they work.
Disregarding this may lead to personal injury or site damage.
WARNING Disconnect the systems from mains
Maintenance, cleaning and/or repairs (by qualified personnel only) may only be performed
when de-energised.
Disregarding this warning may lead to electric shocks.
Putting into operation by trained experts only
The entire measurement system shall be installed and put into operation by trained expert
personnel only.
Integrated buffer battery
The integrated buffer battery may only be exchanged by NIVUS staff or personnel authori-
sed by NIVUS. Infringements lead to a limitation of the warranty (see Sect. “5 Warranty”).

Safety Instructions
page 17NF 600 - rev. 03 / 22.10.2019

7 Use in accordance with the requirements
Note
The instrument is intended solely for the purpose described below.
Modifying or using the instruments for any other purposes without the written consent of the
legally associated companies and/or subsidiaries of NIVUS group will not be considered as
use in accordance with the requirements.
The legally associated companies and subsidiaries of NIVUS group cannot be held respon-
sible for any damage resulting from improper use. The user alone bears any risk.
The NivuFlow 600 transmitter and associated sensor system is designed for continuous flow
measurement of slightly contaminated to clear, pure water-based liquids in fully filled pipes
(round and rectangular).
The measurement transmitter is designed and manufactured in accordance with the current
state of the art and with the recognised safety rules and regulations applicable at the time this
document is issued. Danger to persons or material damage cannot be completely ruled out,
however.
The maximum permissible limit values as specified in Sect. “16 Specifications” shall be nec-
essarily observed. Any case varying from these conditions which is not approved by NIVUS
GmbH in written form is left at the owner’s risk.
8 User’s Responsibilities
Observe and comply with all guidelines and requirements
In the EEA (European Economic Area) national implementation of the framework directive
89/391/EEC and corresponding individual directives, in particular the directive 2009/104/
EC concerning the minimum safety and health requirements for the use of work equipment
by workers at work, as amended, are to be observed and adhered to. In Germany e.g. the
Industrial Safety Ordinance must be observed.
Make sure to have a local operating permit available and observe the associated conditions.
In addition to this you must observe environmental requirements and local laws on the follow-
ing points:
• Personnel safety (accident prevention regulations)
• Safety of work materials and tools (safety equipment and maintenance)
• Disposal of products (laws on wastes)
• Disposal of materials (laws on wastes)
• Cleaning (cleansing agents and disposal)
