Intended use ® Testomat 808 has been designed for use in the field of water treat- ment (e.g. osmosis plants, electroplating, large boiler plants, laun- dries, canteen kitchens). The feed water must be clear, colourless and free of undissolved particles. The instrument is a limit value measuring instrument which automatically monitors the residual total hardness (water hardness) in water.
Notes and instructions to be observed Warning notices in these instructions The warning notices in these instructions warn the user about poten- tial dangers to individuals and property resulting from incorrect han- dling of the instrument. The warning notices are structured as follows: Description of the type or source of danger Description of the consequences resulting from non-observance SIGNAL WORD!
808 requires an interference free and stable power NOTE ® supply. If necessary, use a mains filter to protect Testomat against interference voltages caused, e.g., by solenoid valves or large motors. Never lay connecting cables parallel to power cables. Operation ...
