and gases in processing and industrial plants can be controlled by the regulator. The regula-
tor is primarily used in applications with seawater.
The devices are designed to operate under exactly defined conditions (e.g. operating
pressure, process medium, temperature). Therefore, operators must ensure that the devices
are only used in operating conditions that meet the specifications used for sizing the devices
at the ordering stage. In case operators intend to use the devices in applications or
conditions other than those specified, contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
Î Refer to the technical data and nameplate for limits and fields of application as well as
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The devices are not suitable for use outside the limits defined during configuration and by the
technical data. Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
− Use of non-original spare parts
− Performing service work not specified
Qualifications of operating personnel
The devices must be mounted, started up and serviced by fully trained and qualified
personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices are to be observed. According to
these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals who are
