Intended use

This device is intended for the following uses:
— To convey liquids, gases (including unstable liquids and
gases) and vapors.
— To measure the flow of the operating volume under
constant operating conditions (pressure, temperature,
density). An output of the flow is also possible in standard
or mass units.
The device has been designed for use exclusively within the
technical limit values indicated on the name plate and in the
data sheets.
The following technical limit values must be observed:
— The permissible pressure (PS) in the permissible
measuring medium temperature (TS) may not exceed the
pressure-temperature ratings.
— The maximum or minimum operating temperature must
not be exceeded or undershot.
— The permissible ambient temperature must not be
exceeded.
When using media for measurement the following points must
be observed:
— Measuring media may only be used if, based on the state
of the art or the operating experience of the user, it can be
assured that the chemical and physical properties
necessary for safe operation of the materials of transmitter
components coming into contact with these will not be
adversely affected during the operating period.
— Media containing chloride in particular can cause
corrosion damage to stainless steels which, although not
visible externally, can damage wetted parts beyond repair
and lead to the measuring medium escaping. It is the
operator's responsibility to check the suitability of these
materials for the respective application.
— Measuring media with unknown properties or abrasive
measuring media may only be used if the operator can
perform regular and suitable tests to ensure the safe
condition of the meter.
The operator bears sole responsibility for the use of the
devices in relation to suitability, intended use and corrosion
resistance of the materials in relation to the measuring
medium.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage arising from
improper or non-intended use.
Repairs, alterations, and enhancements, or the installation of
replacement parts, are only permissible insofar as these are
described in this manual. Approval by ABB Automation
Products GmbH must be sought for any activities beyond this
scope. Repairs performed by ABB-authorized specialist shops
are excluded from this.
