2.2
Designated use
Application and media
The measuring device described in this manual is intended for the continuous moisture
measurement of a wide variety of materials. Because of its operating frequency of approx.
1 GHz, the device can also be used outside of closed metal vessels.
If operated outside of closed vessels, the device must be mounted in accordance with the
instructions in the "Installation" section. The operation of the devices does not present any
health risk. If the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and the conditions listed in
the manual and additional documentation are observed, the measuring device may be used
for the following measurements only:
• Measured process variables: material moisture, material conductivity and material
temperature
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper operating condition throughout the
operating period:
‣
Use the device only for media to which the process-wetted materials are sufficiently
resistant.
‣
Observe the limit values in "Technical data".
Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
Clarification of borderline cases:
‣
For special materials and media used for cleaning, the manufacturer is happy to
provide assistance in verifying the corrosion resistance of medium-wetted materials,
but disclaims any warranty or liability.
Residual risks
Due to heat transfer from the process as well as power dissipation within the electronics,
the temperature of the electronics housing and the assemblies contained therein may rise
to 70 °C (158 °F) during operation. During operation, the sensor can reach a temperature
close to the medium temperature.
Danger of burns from contact with surfaces!
‣
In the event of elevated medium temperatures, ensure protection against contact to
prevent burns.
