• Are instructed and authorized according to the requirements of the task by the facility's
owner-operator.
• Follow the instructions in the manual.
2.2
Designated use
Application and media
The measuring device described in this manual is intended for the density and concentration
measurement of non-corrosive gases only. Only permitted media are allowed. See the
"Media" section (
69).
Depending on the version ordered, the measuring device can also measure explosive and
flammable media.
Measuring devices designed for use in hazardous areas or in applications where the process
pressure poses a high risk are specially labeled as such on the nameplate.
To ensure that the measuring device remains in perfect condition during the operating time,
compliance with the following conditions is mandatory:
‣
Only use the measuring device in full compliance with the data on the nameplate and the
general conditions in the Operating Instructions and supplementary documentation.
‣
Based on the nameplate, check whether the ordered measuring device is permitted for
the intended use in the hazardous area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety).
‣
Use the measuring device only for media against which the process-wetted materials are
adequately resistant. See the "Media" section (
‣
If the measuring device is not operated at atmospheric temperature, compliance with
relevant basic conditions specified in the device documentation provided is absolutely
essential. See also the "Technical Documentation" (
65).
Incorrect use
Non-designated use can compromise safety. The manufacturer is not liable for damage
caused by improper or non-designated use.
Clarification of borderline cases:
‣
For special fluids and fluids for cleaning, Hauser is glad to provide assistance in
verifying the corrosion resistance of fluid-wetted materials, but does not accept any
warranty or liability as even minute changes in the temperature, concentration or level
of contamination in the process can alter the corrosion resistance properties.
Residual risks
Possible burn hazard due to fluid temperatures!
‣
If fluid temperatures are high, ensure protection against contact to prevent burns.
