• Due to the performance rate in the electronic components, the maximum heating of the outer
housing surfaces is 10 K. When hot media are passed through the measuring tube, the surface
temperature of the housing increases. With regard to the sensor, in particular, you should expect
temperatures that can be close to the temperature of the medium. If the temperature of the
medium is high, ensure staff are protected against burns and scalds.
• 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.

Return
The following steps must be taken before returning a flow measuring device to Hauser,
e.g. for repair or calibration:
• Always enclose a duly completed "Declaration of contamination" form. Only then can
Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per
EN 91/155/EEC.
• Remove all residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain residues. This is particularly important if the substance is hazardous to health, e.g.
flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic, etc.
!
Note!
You will find a preprinted "Declaration of contamination" form at the back of these Operating
Instructions.

Warning!
• 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.
