2 Basic safety instructions
2.1 Designated use
The Waterpilot FMX167 is a hydrostatic pressure sensor for measuring the level of fresh
water, wastewater and salt water. The temperature is measured simultaneously in the case
of sensor versions with a Pt100 resistance thermometer. An optional temperature head
transmitter converts the Pt100 signal to a 4 to 20 mA signal.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages resulting from incorrect use or use other
than that designated.
2.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
The Waterpilot FMX167 and the (optional) TMT181 temperature head transmitter are
designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements and comply with applicable
regulations and EC Directives. If used incorrectly or for applications for which they are not
intended, the devices can be a source of application-related danger, e.g. product overflow
due to incorrect installation or configuration. For this reason, installation, connection to the
electricity supply, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measuring system
must only be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorized to perform such work by
the facility's owner-operator. The specialist staff must have read and understood these
Operating Instructions and must follow the instructions they contain. Modifications and
repairs to the devices are permissible only if they are expressly allowed in the Operating
Instructions. Pay particular attention to the data and information on the nameplate.
