Installation safety information
Observe the following instructions:
•
The flow direction must correspond to the direction indicated on the device, if labeled.
•
Comply with the maximum torque for all flange bolts.
•
Install the devices without mechanical tension (torsion, bending).
•
Install flange and wafer units with coplanar counter flanges.
•
Only install devices for the intended operating conditions and with suitable seals.
•
Secure the flange bolts and nuts against pipeline vibrations.
1.10 Electrical installation safety information
The electrical connection may only be performed by authorized specialists according to the
electrical plans.
Comply with electrical connection information in the manual. Otherwise, the electrical protection
can be affected.
Ground the measurement system according to requirements.
1.11 Operating safety information
During operation with hot fluids, contact with the surface may result in burns.
Aggressive or corrosive fluids may result in damage to the parts which contact the medium. As
a result, pressurized fluids may escape prematurely.
A pressurized medium may escape due to wear on the flange seal or process connection
gaskets (e. g. aseptic threaded pipe connections, Tri-Clamp, etc.).
When using internal flat gaskets, these can become embrittled through CIP/SIP processes.
Important
• In general when operating the device, the details on electric safety and electromagnetic
compatibility of this manual are to be observed.
• For operation in potentially explosive areas, observe the relevant information in this
manual.
• For use in hygienic applications (EHEDG design), observe the hygienically suitable process
connection.
