Safety information for inspection and
maintenance
WARNING - RISK TO PERSONS
There is no EMC protection or protection against accidental
contact when the housing cover is open. There are electric
circuits within the housing which are dangerous if touched.
Therefore, the auxiliary power must be switched off before
opening the housing cover.
WARNING - RISK TO PERSONS
The device can be operated at high pressure and with
aggressive media. Any process media released may cause
severe injuries. Depressurize the pipeline/tank before
opening the transmitter connection.
Corrective maintenance work may only be performed by trained
personnel.
– Before removing the device, depressurize it and any
adjacent lines or containers.
– Check whether hazardous materials have been used as
materials to be measured before opening the device.
– Residual amounts of hazardous substances may still be
present in the device and could escape when the device is
opened.
Within the scope of operator responsibility, check the
following as part of a regular inspection:
• Pressure-bearing walls/lining of the pressure device
• Measurement-related function
• Leak-tightness
• Wear (corrosion)
