2 For your safety

VEGAPULS 69 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART

47247-EN-200427

• 

Open Air Environment: For operation outside of closed vessels, 

the following condition must be fulfilled: This device shall be 

installed and maintained to ensure a vertically downward orienta-

tion of the transmit antenna's main beam. Furthermore, the use of 

any mechanism that does not allow the main beam of the transmit-

ter to be mounted vertically downward is prohibited.

• 

Operation of the instrument outside of closed vessels is only per-

mitted with G1½ or 1½ NPT with integrated horn antenna.

• 

The installation of the LPR/TLPR device shall be done by trained 

installers, in strict compliance with the manufacturer's instructions.

• 

This device shall be installed only at fixed locations. The LPR 

device shall not operate while being moved or while inside a mov-

ing container.

• 

Hand-held applications are prohibited.

• 

Marketing to residential consumers is prohibited.

• 

The use of this device is on a "no-interference, no-protection" 

basis. That is, the user shall accept operations of high-powered 

radar in the same frequency band which may interfere with or 

damage this device.

• 

However, devices found to interfere with primary licensing opera-

tions will be required to be removed at the user's expense.

• 

The installer/user of this device shall ensure that it is at least 10 km 

from the Dominion Astrophysical Radio Observatory (DRAO) near 

Penticton, British Columbia. The coordinates of the DRAO are 

latitude 49°19′15″ N and longitude 119°37′12″W. For devices not 

meeting this 10 km separation (e.g., those in the Okanagan Valley, 

British Columbia,) the installer/user must coordinate with, and 

obtain the written concurrence of, the Director of the DRAO before 

the equipment can be installed or operated. The Director of the 

DRAO may be contacted at 250-497-2300 (tel.)or 250-497-2355 

(fax). (Alternatively, the Manager, Regulatory Standards, Industry 

Canada, may be contacted.)

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada ap-

plicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est 

autorisée aux conditions suivantes :

• 

L’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage; et

• 

L’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélect-

rique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromet-

tre le fonctionnement.

Cet appareil est homologué pour une utilisation dans les cuves fer-

mées et les environnements ouverts avec les restrictions suivantes :

• 

Cuves fermées : Pour les installations impliquant une inclinaison 

lors de l'installation : cet appareil ne doit être installé que dans 

une cuve totalement fermée en métal ou en béton, pour empêcher 

les émissions RF susceptibles d'interférer avec la navigation 

aéronautique. L'angle d'inclinaison maximum autorisé est de 10°. 

De l'indice électronique .-03, l'utilisation dans des conteneurs 

fabriqués en fibre de verre est également permise.

• 

Environnement ouvert : Pour l'utilisation hors des cuves fermées, 

la condition suivante doit être remplie : L'appareil doit être installé
