During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGAPULS 61 is a sensor for continuous level measurement. Due to the integrated accumulator the instrument is particularly suitable as a portable measuring system or test sensor for special applications.
This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device This device is approved for unrestricted use only inside closed, sta- tionary vessels made of metal, reinforced fiberglass or concrete. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufac- turer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. VEGAPULS 61 • HART and accumulator pack...
That is why we have introduced an environment management system with the goal of continuously improving company environmental pro- tection. The environment management system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001. Please help us fulfil this obligation by observing the environmental instructions in this manual: • Chapter " Packaging, transport and storage" • Chapter " Disposal" VEGAPULS 61 • HART and accumulator pack...
