Recognize dangers that could be caused by the used flow medium. Training / education by RMG for working with gas measuring instruments. Education / instruction in all country-specific standards and directives to be observed for work that is to be carried out on the device.
The TRZ04 subjects to risks in its use, which were judged by qualified staff of the company RMG. Risks may arise due to high pressures, more rarely by too low. Even work outside the permissible temperature range can lead to danger. Invalid current and voltage values can trigger explosions in hazardous areas.
