Environmental (Weee); Cybersecurity; Hart Protocol Disclaimer - ABB LWT300 series User Manual

Environmental (WEEE)

The LWT series of instruments has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production.
Therefore, the instrument may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and environment.
To avoid dissemination of these hazardous products into the environment, and also to reduce extraction,
and protect our natural resources, ABB strongly recommends using the appropriate recycling systems to
make sure that materials used to produce your equipment are reused or recycled in a sound way.
The crossed-out wheeled bin reproduced on the product label (and illustrated below) is a clear reminder
that the product must not be disposed of with household waste.
For European countries, at the end of life of the instrument, refer to the LWT300 series recycling
Instructions and environmental information (part no. AA019035-01) or contact your distributor before
disposing of the instrument.

HART protocol disclaimer

The HART communication protocol used in the LWT series of instruments is inherently insecure. It
can be successfully exploited by spoofing techniques that would allow access to instrument data
and configurations. To prevent the use of such techniques, always ensure that physical access to the
instrument and network is properly secured.
