Safety
2.1 Use
Intended use
The ultrasonic sensor is
optimised for measur
-
ing the levels of liquid media
. Due to the univer-
sal nature of ultrasonic technology
measurement
of the distance to objects
is also possible.
Media contacting parts (see datasheet) must be
sufficiently chemically resistant against the medi-
um. Observe the specified range of use according
to the datasheet.
X
Check, whether the ordered variant matches
the application.
Any non-intended use of or all activities per-
formed on the ultrasonic sensor that are not de-
scribed in this manual represent a not permitted,
incorrect use outside the legal limits of liability of
the manufacturer.
Only operate ultrasonic sensors in intact and
undamaged condition and with the originally fitted
focus tube (option). Adhere to all applicable safety
conditions, laws and directives.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
In the event of incorrect use, hazards can arise
for persons or property.
Incorrect use includes for example:
●
Use in heavily contaminated or crystallising
media.
●
Severely mechanically loading the ultrasonic
sensor (e.g. levering / bending movements or
tightening/loosening by hitting).
●
Not complying with technical data.

Warning instructions
2.2.1
Signal words
The severity of the hazard and its consequences
are graded in the manual through use of a signal
word and colours.
DANGER
Indicates an immediately threatening
danger. If not avoided, death or severe
injuries will result.
WARNING
Indicates a possibly dangerous situ-
ation. If not avoided, death or severe
injuries may result.
CAUTION
Indicates a possibly dangerous
situation. If not avoided, light or minor
injuries may result.
NOTICE
Indicates a possibly dangerous situa-
tion. If not avoided, property damage
may result.
2.2.2
Pictograms
These pictograms are used in this manual as
necessary.
Warning of a general hazard
This warning sign occurs prior to
activities where a number of causes
may lead to hazards.
Warning of dangerous electrical
voltage
This warning sign occurs prior to
activities where there is a risk of
electric shock, possibly with fatal
consequences.
2.3 Personnel
Only specially trained, authorised specialised
personnel may assemble, install, maintain and
repair the ultrasonic sensor as well as performing
any other work.
2.4
Conformity
The CE mark is part of the name plate.
The ultrasonic sensor conforms to
the state of the art plus the applicable
safety conditions at the time of bringing into circu-
lation within the scope of its intended use.
From a design point of view, reasonably foresee-
able misuse cannot be avoided without limiting
the intended functionality.
2.5
Changes/conversion
Any unauthorised change or conversion is ex-
pressly forbidden.
