During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use VEGATOR 636 Ex is a universal signal conditioning instrument for connection of a level switch. You can find detailed information on the application range 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.
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.
