2.1
Intended use
The DIT 01 digital tank contents indicator is exclusively suitable for
the measurement of filling levels in heating oil tanks with heights up
to 3 metres.
Any use other than the use explicitly permitted in this instruction ma-
nual in not permitted.
2.2
Predictable incorrect application
The DIT 01 digital tank contents indicator must never be used in the

2.3
Safe handling
The DIT 01 digital tank contents indicator represents state-of-the-art
technology and is made according to the pertinent safety regulations.
Each device is subjected to a function and safety test prior to ship-
ping.
Operate the DIT 01 digital tank contents indicator only when it is
in perfect condition. Always observe the operating instructions,
all pertinent local and national directives and guidelines as well
as the applicable safety regulations and directives concerning
the prevention of accidents.
The DIT 01 digital tank contents indicator is not a safety device.
It does not replace the function of a limit value transducer at the
heating oil tank.
The DIT 01 digital tank contents indicator may only be installed
in unpressurised heating oil tanks. A tank vent installed in ac-
cordance with the pertinent regulations as well as a limit value
transducer are required.
The cable entry point of the pressure sensor into the heating oil
tank must be significantly higher than the maximum filling level
and must be sealed with the enclosed screw connections in
such a way that no oil vapours can escape and that the pres-
sure sensor cannot move vertically
The measured values displayed, especially the litre indication
values, must not be used for billing purposes. The accuracy of
the measured values displayed depends on the accuracy of the
tank data determined and entered. Therefore, the manufacturer
cannot guarantee the accuracy required for billing purposes.
