The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-intended use. Verification for borderline cases: ‣ For special fluids and fluids for cleaning, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide assistance in verifying the corrosion resistance of fluid-wetted materials, but does not accept any warranty or liability.
IT security Endress+Hauser can only provide a warranty if the device is installed and used as described in the Operating Instructions. The device is equipped with security mechanisms to protect it against any inadvertent changes to the device settings. IT security measures in line with operators' security standards and designed to provide additional protection for the device and device data transfer must be implemented by the operators themselves.
A second fill fluid transfers the pressure to a side of the measuring element where a resistance bridge is located (semiconductor technology). The differential pressure-dependent change in the bridge output voltage is measured and processed further. Endress+Hauser...

Atmosphere Operation in very corrosive environment For corrosive environments (e.g. maritime environment / coastal areas), Endress+Hauser recommends the use of a PVC-coated capillary armor or a PTFE capillary armor for capillaries and the stainless steel housing. The transmitter can be additionally protected by a special coating (Technical Special Product (TSP)).
Page 80
Use either a device with a temperature isolator or with a capillary in applications with very high temperatures. If vibrations additionally occur in the application, Endress+Hauser recommends the use of a device with a capillary. If a device with a temperature isolator or capillary is used, the device must be mounted with a mounting bracket.
