Designated use
Application and media
The measuring device described in these Brief Operating Instructions is intended only for
flow measurement of liquids and gases.
Depending on the version ordered, the measuring device can also measure potentially
explosive, flammable, poisonous and oxidizing media.
Measuring devices for use in hazardous areas, in hygienic applications or where there is an
increased risk due to process pressure, are labeled accordingly on the nameplate.
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
‣
Keep within the specified pressure and temperature range.
‣
Only use the measuring device in full compliance with the data on the nameplate and
the general conditions listed in the Operating Instructions and supplementary
documentation.
‣
Based on the nameplate, check whether the ordered device is permitted for the
intended use in the hazardous area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety).
‣
Use the measuring device only for media to which the process-wetted materials are
sufficiently resistant.
‣
If the measuring device is not operated at atmospheric temperature, compliance with
the relevant basic conditions specified in the associated device documentation is
absolutely essential: "Documentation" section→ 8.
‣
Protect the measuring device permanently against corrosion from environmental
influences.
Incorrect use
Non-designated use can compromise safety. The manufacturer is not liable for damage
caused by improper or non-designated use.
