potentially damaging situation. Failure to avoid this could result in
damage to the product or its surrounding area.

2.6 Operator liability

Prior to using corrosive and abrasive materials for
measurement purposes, the operator must check the level of
resistance of all parts coming into contact with the materials to
be measured.
ABB will gladly support you in selecting the materials, but
cannot accept any liability in doing so.
The operators must strictly observe the applicable national
regulations with regard to installation, function tests, repairs,
and maintenance of electrical devices.

2.7 Qualified personnel

Installation, commissioning, and maintenance of the device
may only be performed by trained specialist personnel who
have been authorized by the plant operator. The specialist
personnel must have read and understood the manual and
comply with its instructions.

2.8 Returning devices

Use the original packaging or suitably secure shipping package
if you need to return the device for repair or recalibration
purposes. Fill out the return form (see the end of the document)
and include this with the device.
According to UE guidelines and other local laws for hazardous
materials, the owner of hazardous waste is responsible for its
disposal. The owner must observe the proper regulations for
shipping purposes.
All devices sent back to ABB must be free from any hazardous
materials (acids, alkalis, solvents, etc.).

ABB can accept and dispose of returns for a fee.

2.11 Transport and storage

— After unpacking the pressure transmitter, check the
device for transport damage.
— Check the packaging material for accessories.
— During intermediate storage or transport, store the
pressure transmitter in the original packaging only.
For information on permissible ambient conditions for storage
and transport, see paragraph "4.4 Storage" and product
datasheet. Although there is no limit on the duration of storage,
the warranty conditions stipulated on the order
acknowledgment from the supplier still apply.
