The equipment must only be used within the admissible pressure and temperature ratings. Function The conductivity electrode LRG 16-4 is used in combination with the following equipment as conductivity limiter and continuous blowdown controller in steam boilers: Conductivity switch LRS 1-50...
Important notes - continued - Safety note The equipment must only be installed, wired and commissioned by qualified and competent staff. Retrofitting and maintenance work must only be performed by qualified staff who - through adequate training - have achieved a recognised level of competence. Danger When loosening the conductivity electrode steam or hot water might escape! This presents the risk of severe scalding all over the body!
ATEX (Atmosphère Explosible) The conductivity electrode LRG 16-4 is a simple item of electrical equipment as specified in EN 60079-11 section 5.7. According to the European Directive 94/9/EC the equipment must be equipped with approved Zener barriers if used in potentially explosive areas. Applicable in Ex zones 1, 2 (1999/92/EC).
