3. Safety
3.1 Explanation of symbols
WARNING!
... indicates a potentially dangerous situation that can result in serious injury or death, if not avoided.
CAUTION!
... indicates a potentially dangerous situation that can result in light injuries or damage to equipment or
the environment, if not avoided.
Information
... points out useful tips, recommendations and information for ecient and trouble-free operation.
3.2 Intended use
The gas density transmitter is used for measuring the gas density of SF6gas and SF6gas mixtures in closed systems.
The measured gas density is output as an electrical signal.
Use the gas density transmitter only in applications that lie within its technical performance limits (e.g. max. ambient
temperature, material compatibility, ...).
→ Performance limits see chapter 9 “Specications”.
The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here, and may only be used
accordingly.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation contrary to the intended use.

3.3 Personnel qualication
Skilled personnel
Skilled personnel, authorised by the operator, are understood to be personnel who, based on their technical training,
knowledge of measurement and control technology and on their experience and knowledge of country-specic
regulations, current standards and directives, are capable of carrying out the work described and independently
recognising potential hazards.
The plant operator must ensure that the handling of SF6 gas is only carried out by a qualied company or by qualied
persons who have been specially trained in accordance with IEC 61634, section 4.3.1 or IEC 60480, section 10.3.1.

SF6 is a colourless and odourless, chemically neutral, inert and non-ammable gas which is approx. ve times heavier
than air, non-toxic and not harmful to the ozone layer. Detailed information is given in IEC 60376 and IEC 61634.

4. Transport, packaging and storage
4. Transport, packaging and storage
4.1 Transport
Check the gas density transmitter for any damage that may have been caused by transport.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
4.2 Packaging and storage
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change in installation site, sending for
repair).
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
■
Storage temperature: -40 ... +80 °C
■
Humidity: 45 ... 75 % relative humidity (no condensation)
