Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The T-Easic
®
is a flow sensor for liquids (defined in
) which operates
on the basis of the calorimetric measurement principle. It converts the flow rate and
temperature of the medium into an electrical signal, thereby providing the following
measurands:
•
Velocity (absolute)
•
Velocity (relative)
•
Volume flow
•
Volume
•
Temperature
The information about the flow rate and average temperature of the liquid is shown on
the OLED display (industrial version only). In addition, flow and temperature data are
also available via IO-Link. Two switching output elements or the pulse output can be
configured to control the flow and temperature. Some variants also have an additional
analog output.
The sensor meets the requirements of EN 61326-2-3 for industrial environments.
2.2
Improper use
The sensor is not a safety component under the meaning of the EU Machinery Directive
(2006/42/EC).
The sensor must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
It is not permitted to open the housing of the T-Easic
®
.
Any use outside the specified areas, in particular use outside the technical specifica
-
tions and in contradiction to the requirements related to the intended use, is consid-
ered improper use.
If the device is not used according to the specifications in this document, the protection
provided by the device may be impaired.
If the sensor is to be used under other conditions or in other environments, the manu-
facturer’s service department may issue an operating permit in consultation with the
customer and in exceptional cases.
2.3
Limitation of liability
In compiling the data and information in these operating instructions, which are based
on our many years of knowledge and experience, the applicable standards and regula-
tions as well as the latest state of technical development have been taken into account.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage due to:
•
Failure to observe the operating instructions
•
Improper use
•
Use by untrained personnel
•
Unauthorized modifications
•
Technical modifications
•
Use of unauthorized spare parts, consumables and accessories
In the case of special variants for which special features have been ordered, or due to
recent technical changes, the scope of delivery may differ from the features described
here and shown in the illustrations.
