Safety notes

General safety information

The "Safety" section provides an overview of the safety aspects to be observed for operation of the device.
The device has been constructed in accordance with the state of the art and is operationally safe. It has been tested and left the
factory in perfect working conditions. The information in the manual, as well as the applicable documentation and certificates,
must be observed and followed in order to maintain this condition throughout the period of operation.
Full compliance with the general safety requirements must be observed during operation of the device. In addition to the general
information, the individual sections in the manual contain descriptions of processes or procedural instructions with specific safety
information.
Only by observing all of the safety information can you reduce to the minimum the risk of hazards for personnel and/or
environment. These instructions are intended as an overview and do not contain detailed information on all available models or
every conceivable event that may occur during setup, operation, and maintenance work.
For additional information, or in the event of specific problems not covered in detail by these operating instructions, please contact
the manufacturer. In addition, ABB declares that the contents of this manual are not part of any prior or existing agreements,
commitments, or legal relationships; nor are they intended to amend these.
All obligations of ABB arise from the conditions of the relevant sales agreement, which also contains the solely binding warranty
regulations in full. These contractual warranty provisions are neither extended nor limited by the information provided in this
manual.
Caution - Risk
Only qualified and authorized specialist personnel should be charged with installation, electrical connection, commissioning, and maintenance of the trans-
mitter. Qualified personnel are persons who have experience in installation, electrical wiring connection, commissioning, and operation of the transmitter or
similar devices, and hold the necessary qualifications such as:
– Training or instruction, i.e., authorization to operate and maintain devices or systems according to safety engineering standards for electrical circuits,
high pressures, and aggressive media
– Training or instruction in accordance with safety engineering standards regarding maintenance and use of adequate safety systems
For safety reasons, ABB draws your attention to the fact that only sufficiently insulated tools conforming to DIN EN 60900 may be used.
Since the transmitter may form part of a safety chain, we recommend replacing the device immediately if any defects are detected.
In case of use in Hazardous Area non sparking tools only must be employed.
In addition, you must observe:
– The relevant safety regulations regarding the installation and operation of electrical systems, e.g., German legal regulations
governing technical tools, §3 (Gerätesicherheitsgesetz: German Equipment Safety Act)
– The relevant standards, e.g., DIN 31 000/VDE 1000.
– The regulations and guidelines relating to explosion protection, if explosion-proof transmitters have to be installed.
Warning - General Risk
The device can be operated at high levels of pressure and with aggressive media.
As a result, serious injury or significant property damage may occur if this device is operated incorrectly.
