Duringworkonandwiththedevice,therequiredpersonalprotective
equipmentmustalwaysbeworn.
1.2 Appropriate use
The MINITRAC 31 is a sensor for density measurement and level
detection.
Youcannddetailedinformationabouttheareaofapplicationin
chapter "Product description".
Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly
usedaccordingtothespecicationsintheoperatinginstructions
manualaswellaspossiblesupplementaryinstructions.
1.3 Warning about incorrect use
Inappropriate or incorrect use of this product can give rise to applica-
tion-specichazards,e.g.vesseloverllthroughincorrectmounting
or adjustment. Damage to property and persons or environmental
contamination can result. Also, the protective characteristics of the
instrument can be impaired.
1.4 General safety instructions
Thisisastate-of-the-artinstrumentcomplyingwithallprevailing
regulations and directives. The instrument must only be operated in a
technicallyawlessandreliablecondition.Theoperatorisresponsi-
ble for the trouble-free operation of the instrument. When measuring
aggressive or corrosive media that can cause a dangerous situation
if the instrument malfunctions, the operator has to implement suitable
measures to make sure the instrument is functioning properly.
During the entire duration of use, the user is obliged to determine the
complianceofthenecessaryoccupationalsafetymeasureswiththe
currentvalidrulesandregulationsandalsotakenoteofnewregula-
tions.
The safety instructions in this operating instructions manual, the na-
tionalinstallationstandardsaswellasthevalidsafetyregulationsand
accident prevention rules must be observed by the user.
Forsafetyandwarrantyreasons,anyinvasiveworkonthedevice
beyond that described in the operating instructions manual may be
carried out only by personnel authorised by the manufacturer. Arbi-
traryconversionsormodicationsareexplicitlyforbidden.Forsafety
reasons,onlytheaccessoryspeciedbythemanufacturermustbe

This measuring system uses gamma rays. Therefore take note of the
instructions for radiation protection in chapter "Product description".
Anyworkonthesourcecontainermayonlybecarriedoutunderthe
supervisionofaqualiedradiationprotectionocer.
1.5 EU conformity
ThedevicefullsthelegalrequirementsoftheapplicableEUdirec-
tives.ByaxingtheCEmarking,weconrmtheconformityofthe
instrumentwiththesedirectives.
The EU conformity declaration can be found on our homepage.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Instrumentswithplastichousingaredesignedforuseinanindustrial
environment. Nevertheless, electromagnetic interference from electri-
cal conductors and radiated emissions must be taken into account,
asisusualwithclassAinstrumentsaccordingtoEN61326-1.Ifthe
instrumentisusedinadierentenvironment,theelectromagnetic
compatibility to other instruments must be ensured by suitable meas-
ures.
1.6 NAMUR recommendations
NAMUR is the automation technology user association in the process
industry in Germany. The published NAMUR recommendations are
acceptedasthestandardineldinstrumentation.
ThedevicefullstherequirementsofthefollowingNAMURrecom-
mendations:
• NE 21 – Electromagnetic compatibility of equipment
• NE 43 – Signal level for fault information from measuring transduc-
ers
• NE53–Compatibilityofelddevicesanddisplay/adjustment
components
• NE107–Self-monitoringanddiagnosisofelddevices
For further information see www.namur.de.
1.7 Security concept, Bluetooth operation
Sensor adjustment via Bluetooth is based on a multi-stage security
concept.
Authentication
When starting Bluetooth communication, an authentication is carried
outbetweensensorandadjustmentdevicebymeansofthesensor
PIN. The sensor PIN is part of the respective sensor and must be
enteredintheadjustmentdevice(smartphone/tablet).Toincrease
adjustment convenience, this PIN is stored in the adjustment device.
This process is secured via an algorithm acc. to standard SHA 256.
Protection against incorrect entries
In case of multiple incorrect PIN entries in the adjustment device,
further entries are possible only after a certain amount of time has
passed.

Encrypted Bluetooth communication
ThesensorPINaswellasthesensordataaretransmittedencrypted
betweensensorandadjustmentdeviceaccordingtoBluetooth
standard 4.0.
Modication of the default sensor PIN
Authentication by means of the sensor PIN is only possible after the
default sensor PIN "0000" has been changed in the sensor by the
user.
