WARNING
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
• Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
• Installation of device in an explosive environment must be in accordance with appropriate local, national, and international
standards, codes, and practices.
• Ensure device is installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field practices.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
• Ground device on non-metallic tanks (e.g. fiberglass tanks) to prevent electrostatic charge build-up.
• Single lead probes are sensitive for strong electromagnetic fields and therefore not suitable for non-metallic tanks.
• Care must be taken during transportation of power module to prevent electrostatic charge build-up.
• Probes covered with plastic and/or with plastic discs may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge under
certain extreme conditions. Therefore, when the probe is used in a potentially explosive atmosphere, appropriate measures
must be taken to prevent electrostatic discharge.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
• Only qualified personnel should install the equipment.
• Install transmitter prior to process start-up.
• Install and tighten process connectors before applying pressure.
• Handle the transmitter carefully.
• Do not remove the transmitter while in operation.
• If the process seal is damaged, gas could escape from the tank when removing the transmitter head from the probe.
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
• Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
• Ensure the transmitter is installed by qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable code of practice.
• Use the equipment only as specified. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the equipment.
Electronic boards are electrostatically sensitive. Failure to observe proper handling precautions for static-sensitive components
can result in damage to the electronic components. Do not remove the electronic boards from the transmitter.
To ensure long life for your radar transmitter, and to comply with hazardous location installation requirements, tighten covers on
both sides of the electronics housing.
Any substitution of non-recognized parts may jeopardize safety. Repair (e.g. substitution of components) may also jeopardize
safety and is not allowed under any circumstances.
WARNING
Physical access
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to and/or misconfiguration of end users' equipment. This could
be intentional or unintentional and needs to be protected against.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and fundamental to protecting your system. Restrict physical access
by unauthorized personnel to protect end users' assets. This is true for all systems used within the facility.
