Basic safety notes
CAUTION
Hot surfaces resulting from hot process media
Risk of burns resulting from surface temperatures above 65 °C (149 °F).
● Take appropriate protective measures, for example contact protection.
● Make sure that protective measures do not cause the maximum permissible ambient
temperature to be exceeded. Refer to the information in Technical data (Page 49).
WARNING
Wetted parts unsuitable for the process media
Risk of injury or damage to device.
Hot, toxic and corrosive media could be released if the process medium is unsuitable for the
wetted parts.
● Ensure that the material of the device parts wetted by the process medium is suitable for
the medium. Refer to the information in Technical data (Page 49).
Note
Material compatibility
Siemens can provide you with support concerning selection of sensor components wetted by
process media. However, you are responsible for the selection of components. Siemens
accepts no liability for faults or failures resulting from incompatible materials.
WARNING
Unsuitable connecting parts
Risk of injury or poisoning.
In case of improper mounting, hot, toxic, and corrosive process media could be released at
the connections.
● Ensure that connecting parts (such as flange gaskets and bolts) are suitable for connection
and process media.
