Application and media
The measuring device described in these Brief Operating Instructions is intended only for flow
measurement of liquids and gases.
Depending on the version ordered, the measuring device can also measure potentially
explosive, flammable, poisonous and oxidizing media.
Measuring devices for use in hazardous areas, in hygienic applications or where there is an
increased risk due to process pressure, are labeled accordingly on the nameplate.
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
‣
Keep within the specified pressure and temperature range.
‣
Only use the measuring device in full compliance with the data on the nameplate and the
general conditions listed in the Operating Instructions and supplementary documentation.
