2.2 Designated use
The flow sensor PF55S is exclusively intended for use in confined
spaces within industrial working environments.
Proper application also includes adherence to all information given
in this manual. This relates in particular to adherence to the tech-
nical information.
The flow sensor measures and detects the flow rates of fluids.
This Fflow sensor complies with the Pressure Equipment Directive
(PED) and is designed and manufactured as per the state of the art
for media in fluid group 2.
The application range includes conductible fluids with the following
properties:
n
Conductibility ≥ 50 μS/cm
n
Viscosity < 70 mm²/s at 40 °C (< 70 cST at 104 °F)
Components can be assembled differently within a system. Please
note that technical limitations are defined by the limitations of the
weakest component of the system.
2.3 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
Misuse especially includes the following:
n
Any use of the flow sensor beyond the intended use or any
other improper use.
n
Any use of the flow sensor by unqualified or incorrectly quali-
fied personnel.
n
Use of the flow sensor together with accessories not approved
by Baumer.
n
Use of the flow sensor in potentially explosive atmospheres.
2.4 Work areas and danger zones
The work areas and danger zones depend on the layout of the
sensor PF55S of the higher-level production equipment and the
prevailing circumstances at the installation site. They must there-
fore be determined by the operating company.
DANGER!
Non-observance of operating company's obliga-
tions could result in serious injuries or death.
–
Always ensure adherence to the operating compa-
ny's obligations.
