General Precautions
FLUXUS is a precision measuring instrument and has to be handled with care. In order to obtain good measurement re-
sults and not damage the measuring instrument, it is important to pay special attention to the instructions given in this user
manual, particularly to the following points:
• Protect the transmitter from shocks.
• The housing may only be opened by authorized personnel. The degree of protection of the transmitter is only ensured if
the cables fit firmly and tightly in the cable glands, the cable glands are firmly tightened and the housings are tightly
screwed.
• Keep the transducers clean. Handle the cables with care. Avoid excessive cable bends.
• Make sure to work under correct ambient and operating temperatures. The ambient temperature at the measuring point
has to be within the operating temperature range of the transmitter and the sensors (see Technical Specification).
• Observe the degree of protection (see Technical Specification).
Attention!
Observe the "Safety Instructions for the Use in Explosive Atmosphere" (see document SIFLUXUS
and SIFLUXUS_1N62).
