▶
Switch off power supply.
▶
Secure power supply against inadvertent switch-on.
▶
Check that power supply is free of voltage.
DANGER
Life-threatening injuries from ignition of explosive atmospheres
▶
Wait 20 minutes before opening the housing until the capacitors have discharged
and components have cooled off.
▶
Avoid electrostatically charging the device, e.g. by rubbing it with dry cloths.
DANGER
Explosion hazard from electrostatic discharge or brush discharge
Life-threatening injuries or ignition of explosive atmospheres
▶
Avoid actions that could lead to electrostatic discharges. For example, do not wipe
the coated surface of the transmitter using a piece of cloth.
DANGER
When connecting flow meters in hazardous areas, the applicable Ex instruction manual
must be observed.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to electrical shock
▶
Only have skilled personnel to connect the flow meter.
▶
Do not perform wiring outdoors if it is raining.
WARNING
