Operational safety
Note the following points:
• Measuring systems for use in hazardous environments are accompanied by separate "Ex
documentation", which is an integral part of these Operating Instructions. Strict compliance with
the installation instructions and ratings as stated in this supplementary documentation is
mandatory.
The symbol on the front of this supplementary Ex documentation indicates the approval and the
certification body i.e.
0
Europe,
2
USA,
1
Canada.
• The measuring device complies with the general safety requirements in accordance with
EN 61010-1, the EMC requirements of IEC/EN 61326, the NAMUR recommendation NE 21,
NE 43 and NE 53.
• External surface temperature of the transmitter can increase by 10 K due to power consumption
of internal electronical components. Hot process fluids passing through the measuring device will
further increase the surface temperature of the measuring device. Especially the surface of the
sensor can reach temperatures which are close to process temperature. Additionally safety
precautions are required when increased process temperatures are present.
• For measuring systems used in SIL 2 applications, the separate manual on functional safety must
be observed.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to modify technical data without prior notice. Your
Hauser distributor will supply you with current information and updates to these
Operating Instructions.

• Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused
through plastic.
• Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be
charged to the owner-operator.
