Application and media
Depending on the version ordered, the measuring device can also measure potentially
explosive, flammable, poisonous and oxidizing media.

where there is an increased risk due to process pressure, are labeled accordingly on the
nameplate.
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
‣
Only use the measuring device in full compliance with the data on the nameplate and
the general conditions listed in the Operating Instructions and supplementary
documentation.
‣
Based on the nameplate, check whether the ordered device is permitted for the
intended use in the hazardous area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety).
‣
Use the measuring device only for media against which the process-wetted materials
are adequately resistant.
‣
If the measuring device is not operated at atmospheric temperature, compliance with
the relevant basic conditions specified in the device documentation provided (on the
CD-ROM) is absolutely essential.
Incorrect use
Non-designated use can compromise safety. The manufacturer is not liable for damage
caused by improper or non-designated use.

Verification for borderline cases:
‣
For special fluids and fluids for cleaning, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide assistance
in verifying the corrosion resistance of fluid-wetted materials, but does not accept any
warranty or liability as minute changes in the temperature, concentration or level of
contamination in the process can alter the corrosion resistance properties.
