Signet 2551 Display Magmeter

1.  Depressurize and vent system prior to installation or removal.
2. Con

fi

 rm chemical compatibility before use.

3.  Do not exceed maximum temperature / pressure 

speci

fi

 cations.

4.  Wear safety goggles or faceshield during installation/service.
5.  Do not alter product construction.

Failure to follow these instructions may result 
in the sensor being ejected from the pipe!

If leaking is observed from the retaining cap, it 
indicates defective or worn o-rings on the sensor. 
Do not attempt to correct by further tightening.

Caution / Warning / Danger

Indicates a potential hazard. Failure to follow all warnings 
may lead to equipment damage, injury, or death

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) / Electrocution Danger

Alerts user to risk of potential damage to product by 
ESD, and/or risk of potential of injury or death via 
electrocution.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Always utilize the most appropriate PPE during 
installation and service of Signet products.

Pressurized System Warning

Sensor may be under pressure, take caution to vent 
system prior to installation or removal. Failure to do so 
may result in equipment damage and/or serious injury.

Hand Tighten Only

Overtightening may permanently damage product 
threads and lead to failure of the retaining nut.

Do Not Use Tools

Use of tool(s) may damage product beyond repair and 
potentially void product warranty.

Note / Technical Notes

Highlights additional information or detailed procedure.

Refer to your local Georg Fischer Sales of

fi

 ce for the most 

current warranty statement.

All warranty and non-warranty repairs being returned must 
include a fully completed Service Form and goods must be 
returned to your local GF Sales of

fi

 ce or distributor. 

Product returned without a Service Form may not be 
warranty replaced or repaired.

Signet products with limited shelf-life (e.g. pH, ORP, chlorine 
electrodes, calibration solutions; e.g. pH buffers, turbidity 
standards or other solutions) are warranted out of box but not 
warranted against any damage, due to process or application 
failures (e.g. high temperature, chemical poisoning, dry-out) or 
mishandling (e.g. broken glass, damaged membrane, freezing 
and/or extreme temperatures).

Safety Information

The retaining nuts of Magmeters are not designed for 
prolonged contact with aggressive substances. Strong acids, 
caustic substances and solvents or their vapor may lead to 
failure of the retaining nut, ejection of the sensor and loss of 
the process 

fl

 uid with possibly serious consequences, such as 

damage to equipment and serious personal injury. Retaining 
nuts that may have been in contact with such substances e.g. 
due to leakage or spilling, must be replaced.

X = Sensor Body Material (P, T, or V)

DO NOT USE thread sealant
or lubricants on the fitting threads!

Do not use any tools to
tighten the yellow retaining cap.
DO NOT USE thread sealant or
lubricants on retaining cap!

Lubricate O-rings with a 
non-petroleum based, viscous
lubricant (grease) compatible
with the system.
