The transducers, even when supplied with external indicators, are only plant or equipment
parts and components : they are sold in great numbers every year for many different types

regarding use and thus limits itself to listing some fundamental and elementary
precautions to ensure correct use.
In situations where there is a potential risk of damage or injury to people of things, or
machine stops and measuring systems, it is the precise obligation of the User to make
sure that there is adequate
insurance cover and to inform the Supplier with regard to such,
so that the Supplier is free to renounce the order or the supply.

The PC series cannot be used in the presence of flammable, explosive, corrosive
substances or in the presence of any dangerous materials, liquids or fumes. The
transducer head has IP 65 environmental protection but it is not airtight (hermetic).
If there is any doubt concerning compatibility of transducer manufacturing materials, the
Customer ought to inquire about the chemical-mechanical nature of the materials used.
1.3. QUALITY

limitations and the precautions listed in the manual were included to help the User
