Check the packaging for visible damage immediately after receipt. Any possible damage in transit shall be instantly reported to the carrier. Furthermore a written report shall be sent to NIVUS GmbH in Eppingen. Incomplete deliveries shall be reported in writing either to your local rep- resentative or directly to the NIVUS head office in Eppingen within two weeks.
We herewith particularly emphasise that replacement parts or accesso- ries not supplied by NIVUS moreover are not certified and approved by NIVUS too. Installation and/or the use of such products hence may nega- tively influence predetermined constructional characteristics of the measurement system or even lead to instrument failures.

Instruction manual Pressure and Level Sensors Initial Start-up Notes to the user Before you connect and operate a pressure or level sensor you should strictly follow the notes below! This instruction manual contains all necessary information to operate the sensors. It is addressed to qualified technical personnel who have appropriate knowledge about measurement technology and waste water hydraulics.
Interval The sensors are conceived to be virtually free of maintenance and wear. NIVUS recommends having them inspected by the NIVUS customer ser- vice once per year. Depending on the area of use the maintenance inter- vals however may vary.
