1.6 Product recycling and disposal (Europe only)

Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not
be disposed of in European public disposal systems
after 12 August 2005. To conform to European local
and national regulations (EU Directive 2002/96/EC),
European electrical equipment users must now return
old or end-of-life equipment to the manufacturer for
disposal at no charge to the user.
ABB is committed to ensuring that the risk of any
environmental damage or pollution caused by any of
its products is minimized as far as possible.
IMPORTANT (NOTE) For return for recycling, please
contact the equipment manufacturer or supplier for
instructions on how to return end-of-life equipment for
proper disposal.

1.6.1 End-of-life battery disposal

The transmitter contains a small lithium battery (located on the
processor / display board) that must be removed and disposed
of responsibly in accordance with local environmental
regulations.

1.7 Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

The European Union RoHS Directive and subsequent
regulations introduced in member states and other
countries limits the use of six hazardous substances
used in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic
equipment. Currently, monitoring and control
instruments do not fall within the scope of the RoHS
Directive, however ABB has taken the decision to
adopt the recommendations in the Directive as the
target for all future product design and component
purchasing.

2 Communications overview

Extensive communication options enable the Endura AZ40
transmitter to be integrated into larger control systems easily or
connected to other process instrumentation.

2.1 RS485 MODBUS

Using RS485 MODBUS, values and status can be
communicated between a master (or host) computer and the
AZ40 in real-time via an RS485 connection.
