Important Notes

Safety note

ATEX (Atmosphère Explosible)

According to the European Directive 2014/34/EU the equipment must 

not

 be used in explosion-risk 

areas.

Danger

When loosening the electrode steam or hot water might escape.  

This presents the danger of severe scalding. It is therefore essential not to remove or 

install the electrode unless the boiler pressure is verified to be zero.
The electrode is hot during operation. This presents the danger of severe burns to hands 

and arms. Installation and maintenance work should only be carried out when the system 

is cold.

The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified staff.
Maintenance and service work must only be performed by adequately trained persons who have  

a recognized level of competence.

Usage for the intended purpose

Use conductivity electrodes LRG 16-40, LRG 16-41, LRG 17-40 only for measuring the electrical con-

ductivity of liquid fluids.
For conductivity limiting or continuous boiler blowdown the conductivity electrodes LRG 16-40,  

LRG 16-41, LRG 17-40 must only be used in conjunction with TDS controller LRR 1-40 and an 

 operating terminal & display unit type URB or SPECTOR

control

.

To guarantee a trouble-free operation observe the requirements made on water quality as specified in 

the pertinent TRD and EN regulations. 
Use the equipment only within its specified pressure and temperature limits.
Any other use is deemed as not being in compliance with the intended purpose. The user shall be 

solely responsible for the associated risk. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage resulting 

from improper usage.

Note on the Declaration of Conformity / Declaration by the Manufacturer 

For details on the conformity of our equipment according to the European Directives see our Declaration 

of Conformity or our Declaration of Manufacturer.
The current Declaration of Conformity / Declaration of Manufacturer are available in the Internet under
