Safety Information For Operation - ABB FV4000 Operating Instruction

Safety

1.10 Safety information for operation

Operation with abrasive fluids and/or cavitation can damage pressurized components.
During operation with hot fluids, contact with the surface may result in burns.
Aggressive fluids may result in corrosion and abrasion of the parts that come into contact with
the medium. As a result, pressurized fluids may escape prematurely.
Due to wear on the flange gasket, a pressurized medium may escape
Important
• As a general rule, when operating the meter, the detailed information in these operating
instructions on the subjects of "electrical safety" and "electromagnetic compatibility" must
be observed.
• For operation in potentially explosive areas, observe the relevant information in these
operating instructions.
1.11 Safety instructions for operation in hazardous areas
Specific requirements affecting the connection for the supply power and the switching output
apply for operation in hazardous areas. Please follow the instructions in the section titled 11 „Ex
relevant specifications".
1.12 Safety information for maintenance and inspection
Warning - Potential damage to parts!
The electronic components of the printed circuit board can be damaged by static electricity
(observe ESD guidelines).
Make sure that the static electricity in your body is discharged before touching electronic
components.
When the housing is open, EMC protection is limited.
Corrective maintenance work may only be performed by trained personnel.
• Depressurize the device and adjoining lines or containers before removing the device.
• Check whether hazardous materials are used as materials to be measured before opening
the device. Residual amounts of hazardous material may still be present in the device and
could escape when the device is opened.
• As far as provided in the scope of the operational responsibility, check the following items
through a regular inspection:
− the pressure-carrying walls / lining of the pressure device
− the measurement-related function
− the leak tightness
− the wear (corrosion)
