Qualified personnel:
The personnel who are charged for the installation, operation and maintenance of the
DiTemp LCK must hold a relevant qualification. This can be based on training or relevant
tuition.
The personnel must be aware of this operating manual and have access to it at all times.
General safety instructions:
In all work, the existing national regulations for accident prevention and safety in the
workplace must be complied with. Any internal regulations of the operator must also be
complied with, even if these are not mentioned in this manual.
The measuring accuracy can be significantly influenced by the installation conditions, e.g.
by the installation depth and the heat conduction via the material at the screw-in position.
When measuring high media temperatures it is possible that the ambient temperature at
the thermometer housing will exceed the permissible maximum value (+60 °C). This may
damage the measuring device. We recommend the use of our DiTemp LCK with remote
cable when measuring media temperatures greater than 200 °C.
Always observe the specified degree of protection for the device.
Never open the display head, otherwise the degree of protection (IP65) cannot be guar-
anteed.
Never remove the protective tube of the temperature sensor while the system is operat-
ing!
Never touch the temperature sensor or connected components if the medium being
measured is subject to high temperatures.
It is recommended, if possible, to always install display heads at eye level.
Special safety instructions:
Caution!
If the thermometer is to be used in applications with high pressures and/or high tempera-
tures, high medium flow rates or corrosive and abrasive media, the thermometer immer-
sion tube has to be additionally protected by a protective tube in accordance with
DIN 43772.
Further warnings that are specifically relevant to individual operating procedures or activities
can be found at the beginning of the relevant sections of this operating manual.
