RETURN OF MATERIAL
The Rosemount Model 1159 Remote Diaphragm Seal is designed for
Nuclear Class IE usage, has been tested per IEEE Std 323-1974 and
IEEE Std 344-1975 as defined in the Qualification Test Report D8300151,
and is manufactured to the requirements of NQA-1; 10CFR50, Appendix B
quality assurance programs; and 10CFR Part 21. During qualification
testing, interfaces were defined between the remote seal and its
environment that are essential to meeting IEEE Std 323-1974
requirements. To ensure compliance with 10CFR Part 21, the remote seal
must comply with the requirements herein throughout its installation,
operation, and maintenance. It is incumbent upon the user to ensure that
the Rosemount Nuclear Instruments, Inc.’s component traceability program
is continued throughout the Qualified Life of the remote seal.
In order to maintain the qualified status of the remote seal, the essential
environmental interfaces must not be compromised. Performance of any
operations on the remote seal other than those specifically authorized in
this manual has the potential for compromising an essential environmental
interface. Where the manual uses the terms requirements,mandatory,
must, or required, the instructions so referenced must be carefully
followed. Rosemount Nuclear Instruments, Inc. expressly disclaims all
responsibility and liability for remote seals for which the foregoing has not
been complied with by the user.
IMPORTANT
The warranty and limitations of remedy applicable to this Rosemount
equipment are as stated on the reverse of the current Rosemount
quotation and customer acknowledgment forms.
