2.1 Safe operation
This device is built based on current state-of-the-art technology and is safe to use. The device has been
tested and was shipped from the plant in perfect working order.
If you do not follow the measures to ensure safe operation, this may result in risk to life and damage to
property due to improper use.
•
Only ever use the device for its intended purpose.
• Do not place the device and the process connections under mechanical strain.
• Systematically check that the process connections are leak-tight.
• Protect the device from electromechanical interference and UV radiation.
• Protect the device from the weather (when using outside).
• Only perform modifications and repairs to the device if expressly permitted by the documentation.
2.2 Intended use
The ultrasonic flow meter measures the volume flow of conductive and non-conductive media. The vol-
ume flows can be output in analogue as a current signal (4 to 20 mA) and digitally as a pulse signal
(0 to 10 kHz).
During operation, the admissible data and operating conditions specified in the legal documents and op-
erating manual must be observed.
2.3 Qualification of personnel
The personnel deployed must meet the following requirements in all phases of the product lifecycle:
•
Trained electrical, mechanical, and plant engineering personnel.
• Members of personnel are familiar with this documentation and the safety information and warnings
it contains.
2.4 Hot media
Hot media may result in the device surfaces becoming hot and presenting a risk of injury.
•
Allow the device and plant to cool down.
• Wear suitable protective equipment.
• Take into account alignment of the housing for electronic components.
