WARNING!
The XGF868i flow transmitter can measure the flow rate of many gases, some of
which are potentially hazardous. In such cases, observing the proper safety
practices is critical. Be sure to follow all applicable local safety codes and
regulations for installing electrical equipment and for working with hazardous
gases or flow conditions. Consult company safety personnel or local safety
authorities to verify the safety of any procedure or practice.
