Precautions 

  

User's Responsibility for Safety: 

KOBOLD manufactures 

a wide range of process sensors and technologies. While 
each of these technologies are designed to operate in a 
wide variety of applications, it is the user's responsibility to 
select a technology that is appropriate for the application, to 
install it properly, to perform tests of the installed system, 
and to maintain all components. The failure to do so could 
result in property damage or serious injury. 

  

Proper Installation and Handling: 

Use a proper sealant 

with all installations. Never overtighten the sensor within its 
fittings. Always check for leaks prior to system start-up. 

  

Wiring and Electrical: 

This is an electrically operated 

device and only properly trained personnel should install 
and maintain this product. Be sure that the power supplied 
to the sensor is appropriate for the electronics supplied. 
Electrical wiring should be performed in accordance with all 
applicable national, state and local codes. 

  

Temperature and Pressure: 

The DRG is available in 

several material combinations. Temperature and pressure 
maximums vary depending upon the material selected. 
Operation outside these limitations will cause damage to 
the unit.

Material Compatibility: 

The DRG process wetted 

parts for the various body materials are stated below. 
Make sure that the DRG is chemically compatible with 
the application liquids. While the sensor’s outer housing 
is liquid resistant when installed properly, it is not 
designed to be immersed. It should be mounted in such 
a way that it does not normally come into contact with 
fluid. 

  

Flammable, Explosive and Hazardous Applications: 

The DRG is not an explosion-proof design. It should not 
be used in applications where an explosion-proof 
design is required. 

  

Make a Fail-Safe System: 

Design a fail-safe system 

that accommodates the possibility of sensor or power 
failure. In critical applications, KOBOLD recommends 
the use of redundant backup systems and alarms in 
addition to the primary system.
