Designated use

Application and media
The measuring device described in these Instructions is intended only for flow measurement of gases.
Depending on the version ordered, the measuring device can also measure potentially explosive,
flammable, poisonous and oxidizing media.
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
Only use the measuring device in full compliance with the data on the nameplate and the general
►
conditions listed in the Operating Instructions and supplementary documentation.
Based on the nameplate, check whether the ordered device is permitted for the intended use in
►
the hazardous area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety).
Use the measuring device only for media against which the process-wetted materials are
►
adequately resistant.
Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
NOTICE
Danger of breakage of the sensor due to corrosive or abrasive fluids!
Verify the compatibility of the process fluid with the sensor material.
►
Ensure the resistance of all fluid-wetted materials in the process.
►
Observe the specified maximum process pressure.
►
Verification for borderline cases:
For special fluids and fluids for cleaning, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide assistance in verifying
►
the corrosion resistance of fluid-wetted materials, but does not accept any warranty or liability.
Residual risks
External surface temperature of the transmitter can increase by 20 K due to power consumption of
internal electronical components. Hot process fluids passing through the measuring device will
further increase the surface temperature of the measuring device. Especially the surface of the sensor
can reach temperatures which are close to process temperature.
Possible burn hazard due to fluid temperatures!
For elevated fluid temperature, ensure protection against contact to prevent burns.
