  • Page 5: For Your Safety

    During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGABAR 29 is a pressure transmitter for process pressure and hydrostatic level measurement. You can find detailed information about the area of application in chapter " Product description". Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used according to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.
