2600T Series Pressure transmitters | OI/266/HART-EN Rev. D 5
Caution - Risk
Only qualified and authorized specialist personnel should be charged with installation, electrical connection, commissioning, and maintenance of the trans-
mitter. Qualified personnel are persons who have experience in installation, electrical wiring connection, commissioning, and operation of the transmitter or
similar devices, and hold the necessary qualifications such as:
– Training or instruction, i.e., authorization to operate and maintain devices or systems according to safety engineering standards for electrical circuits,
high pressures, and aggressive media
– Training or instruction in accordance with safety engineering standards regarding maintenance and use of adequate safety systems
For safety reasons, ABB draws your attention to the fact that only sufficiently insulated tools conforming to DIN EN 60900 may be used.
Since the transmitter may form part of a safety chain, we recommend replacing the device immediately if any defects are detected.
In case of use in Hazardous Area non sparking tools only must be employed.
