2.2
Designated use
Application and media
The measuring device described in this manual is intended only for flow measurement
of liquids with a minimum conductivity of 20 µS/cm.
The EF200F-C vortex flowmeter is used to measure the flow of saturated steam,
superheated steam, air and water. Do not use to measure the flow of toxic, flammable
or otherwise hazardous fluids.
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.
Use the measuring device only for media to which the process-wetted materials are
sufficiently resistant.
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.
Danger of breakage due to corrosive or abrasive fluids and ambient conditions!
Verify the compatibility of the process fluid with the sensor material.
Ensure the resistance of all fluid-wetted materials in the process.
Keep within the specified pressure and temperature range.
Residual risks
The electronics and the medium may cause the surfaces to heat up. This presents a
burn hazard!
For elevated fluid temperatures, ensure protection against contact to prevent burns.
