2). In particular, it is not designed for direct or indirect personal protection. SCHMIDT Technology cannot give any warranty as to its suitability for a certain purpose and cannot be held liable for accidental or sequential damage in connection with the delivery, performance or use of this unit.
Thus, the resulting output signal is independent from the pressure and temperature of the medium to be measured. The SS 20.261 is designed for the use inside closed rooms and is not suitable for outdoor use. Equates to the real flow velocity under standard conditions.
3 Mounting instructions General information on handling The SS 20.261 is a precision instrument with high measuring sensitivity. In spite of the robust construction of the sensor tip soiling of the inner sensor elements can lead to distortion of measurement results (see also chapter 8 Service information).
