Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The LFP is designed for both continuous level measurement and discontinuous level
measurement in nearly all liquids (a list of possible media can be found in the annex).
The sensor is not affected by changes in the properties of the liquids to be measured.
Its hygienic design means the LFP Inox is suitable for universal use in practically all
liquids in the food industry.
The LFP can be used in metal containers or bypass systems.
The use at media temperatures of up to 150 °C and up to 180 °C with remote ampli-
fier plus CIP and SIP compatibility mean the device is completely food safe. This has
been certified by an EHEDG certificate and FDA conformity.
2.2
Incorrect use
Any use outside of the stated areas, in particular use outside of the technical specifica
-
tions and the requirements for intended use, will be deemed to be incorrect use.
If the sensor is to be used under other conditions or in different environments, then the
manufacturing service may issue an operating license in consultation with the cus-
tomer and in exceptional cases.
2.3
Limitation of liability
Applicable standards and regulations, the latest state of technological development,
and our many years of knowledge and experience have all been taken into account
when assembling the data and information contained in these operating instructions.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by:
•
Failing to observe the operating instructions
•
Incorrect use
•
Use by untrained personnel
•
Unauthorized conversions
•
Technical modifications
•
Use of unauthorized spare parts, consumables, and accessories
With special variants, where optional extras have been ordered, or owing to the latest
technical changes, the actual scope of delivery may vary from the features and illustra-
tions shown here.
2.4
Modifications and conversions
IMPORTANT
Modifications and conversions to the sensor and/or the installation may result in un
-
foreseeable dangers.
Interrupting or modifying the sensor or SICK software will invalidate any warranty claims
against SICK AG. This applies in particular to opening the housing, even as part of
mounting and electrical installation.
Before technical modifications to and expansions of the sensor, the prior written
approval of the manufacturer must be obtained.
