4.1 General instructions
The instrument is suitable for standard and extended ambient condi-
tions acc. to DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. It can be used
indoors as well as outdoors.
Note:
For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the
permissible process conditions. You can find detailed information on
the process conditions in chapter "
Technical data
" of the operating
instructions or on the type label.
Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex-
posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
•
Active measuring component
•
Process fitting
•
Process seal
Process conditions in particular are:
•
Process pressure
•
Process temperature
•
Chemical properties of the medium
•
Abrasion and mechanical influences
The VEGAPOINT 11 can be mounted in any position. The instrument
must be mounted in such a way that the sensor is at the height of the
requested switching point.
