Safety precautions
Be sure to read, understand and follow the instructions
contained within this manual before and during use of the
equipment. Failure to do so could result in bodily harm or
damage to the equipment.
WARNING – BODILY INJURY
Installation, operation, maintenance and servicing
must be performed:
• by suitably trained personnel only
• in accordance with the information provided in
this manual
• in accordance with relevant national and local
regulations
Intended use
This insertion sensor is intended for the following uses:
• To measure the volumetric flow rate, flow velocity, volume
flow (forward, reverse and net) and pressure (option) of a
conductive fluid.
The insertion sensor has been designed for use exclusively
within the technical limit values indicated on the identification
plate and in the data sheets.
In terms of the measuring medium, observe following points:
• Wetted parts such as measuring electrodes, liner, insertion
sensor tip must not be damaged because of the chemical
and physical characteristic of the measuring medium.
• The information on the name plate must be observed.
Improper use
The following are considered to be instances of improper use
of the insertion sensor:
• For use as a climbing aid – for example, for mounting
purposes.
• Material application – for example, by painting over the
nameplate or welding/soldering on parts.
• Material removal – for example, by spot drilling the
housing.

WARNING – BODILY INJURY
To ensure safe use when operating this equipment, the
following points must be observed:
• Up to 240 V AC may be present. Isolate the supply
before removing the terminal cover.
• Normal safety precautions must be taken to avoid
the possibility of an accident occurring when
operating in conditions of high pressure and/or
temperature.
• Risk of injury due to pressurized vessel.
Installation, removal or adjustment of this insertion
sensor can be dangerous. The instructions in this
manual
MUST
be observed and followed carefully,
especially with regard to use of the safety
mechanism (see page 16). Incorrect procedures
could cause the insertion sensor assembly to be
expelled from a pressurized line with high force
resulting in the potential for serious personal injury.
Safety advice concerning the use of the equipment
described in this manual or any relevant Material Safety
Data Sheets (where applicable) can be obtained from
the Company, together with servicing and spares
information.
