Caution highlights actions or procedures which, if not performed correctly, may lead to personal injury or incorrect functioning of the instrument. Note! A note highlights actions or procedures which, if not performed correctly, may indirectly affect operation or may lead to an instrument response which is not planned. Endress+Hauser...
Pack the measuring instrument so that is protected against impacts for storage and transport. The original packing material provides the optimum protection for this. The permissible storage temperature is -40 °C to +80 °C (-40 °F to +176 °F) or -50 °C to +80 °C (-58 °F to +176 °F). Endress+Hauser...

BA229F/00/EN. • Stilling well: a stilling well can always be used to avoid interference. • Metallic screens (3) mounted at a slope spread the radar signals and can, therefore, reduce interference echoes. Please contact Endress+Hauser for further information. L00-FMR2xxxx-17-00-00-xx-007 Endress+Hauser...
