Safety Precautions
CAUTION
Be sure to use this device within the flow rate range stated in the specifications. To prevent
excessive flow, use a suitable means to control the supply pressure or use a throttle valve or
the like to control the flow rate.
If damage could result from the abnormal functioning of this device, include appropriate redun-
dancy in the system design.
If there is a risk of a power surge caused by lightning, use Azbil Corporation's SurgeNon to
prevent possible fire or equipment failure.
When carrying the flowmeter or connecting it to the pipe, do not hold it by the measurement
module. Doing so could cause damage, or the device could drop, causing an injury.
To avoid damaging this device, do not use it outside of the operating pressure range. Also, do
not subject it to a pressure above its pressure resistance.
When maintaining or replacing the measurement module, release the internal pressure of this
device before removing the measurement module.
Do not remove or deface the label attached to the batteries.
Do not heat the batteries, throw them into the fire, etc. Doing so may cause them to leak or
rupture.
Do not touch any alkaline liquid (electrolye) that has leaked from a battery.
If alkaline fluid gets into your eyes, it can damage them and cause blindness. If contact with
the eyes occurs, rinse them immediately with a large quantity of clean water, such as tap
water, without rubbing them. Then get treated by a doctor as soon as possible.
If alkaline liquid comes in contact with your skin or clothes, it may damage your skin. If
contact with the skin occurs, rinse the skin immediately with a large amount of clean water
(such as tap water).
If alkaline fluid gets into your mouth, rinse your mouth immediately and see a doctor.
Do not use the MCF with the battery box cover off.
Do not drop the MCF or subject it to vibration or shock while in use.
Do not leave the MCF in a high temperature, high humidity place, or where is condensation, or
in direct sunlight. Doing so may cause the batteries to heat up, leak, or rupture. In addition,
the battery performance or life could be decreased.
