2 Basic safety instructions

2.1 Requirements for the personnel

The personnel must fulfill the following requirements for its tasks:

‣Trained, qualified specialists must have a relevant qualification for this specific function

and task

‣Are authorized by the plant owner/operator

‣Are familiar with federal/national regulations

‣Before beginning work, the specialist staff must have read and understood the instructions

in the Operating Instructions and supplementary documentation as well as in the

certificates (depending on the application)

‣Following instructions and basic conditions

2.2 Designated use

Application and measured materials

The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is intended only for level and

interface measurement of liquids. Depending on the version ordered the device can also

measure potentially explosive, flammable, poisonous and oxidizing materials.

Observing the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and listed in the Operating

Instructions and supplementary documentation, the measuring device may be used for the

following measurements only:

‣Measured process variable: Level and/or interface

‣Calculated process variable: Volume oder mass in arbitrarily shaped vessels (calculated

from the level by the linearization functionality)

To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:

‣Use the measuring device only for measured materials against which the process-wetted

materials are adequately resistant.

‣Observe the limit values in "Technical data".

Incorrect use

The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.

Verification for borderline cases:

‣For special measured materials and cleaning agents, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide

assistance in verifying the corrosion resistance of wetted materials, but does not accept any

warranty or liability.

Residual risk

The electronics housing and its built-in components such as display module, main electronics

module and I/O electronics module may heat to 80 °C (176 °F) during operation through heat

transfer from the process as well as power dissipation within the electronics. During operation

the sensor may assume a temperature near the temperature of the measured material.

Danger of burns due to heated surfaces!

‣For high process temperatures: Install protection against contact in order to prevent burns.

2.3 Workplace safety

For work on and with the device:

‣Wear the required personal protective equipment according to federal/national

regulations.

2.4 Operational safety

Risk of injury.

‣Operate the device in proper technical condition and fail-safe condition only.

‣The operator is responsible for interference-free operation of the device.

Conversions to the device

Unauthorized modifications to the device are not permitted and can lead to unforeseeable

dangers.

‣If, despite this, modifications are required, consult with the manufacturer.

Repair

To ensure continued operational safety and reliability,

‣Carry out repairs on the device only if they are expressly permitted.

‣Observe federal/national regulations pertaining to repair of an electrical device.

‣Use original spare parts and accessories from the manufacturer only.

Hazardous area

To eliminate a danger for persons or for the facility when the device is used in the hazardous

area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety):

‣Based on the nameplate, check whether the ordered device is permitted for the intended

use in the hazardous area.

‣Observe the specifications in the separate supplementary documentation that is an integral

part of these Instructions.

2.5 Product safety

This measuring device is designed in accordance with good engineering practice to meet state-

of-the-art safety requirements, has been tested, and left the factory in a condition in which

they are safe to operate.

It meets general safety standards and legal requirements. It also complies with the EC

directives listed in the device-specific EC Declaration of Conformity. Endress+Hauser confirms

this by affixing the CE mark to the device.
