Maintenance

No special maintenance work is required for the level measuring device Liquicap M.
Exterior cleaning
When cleaning the exterior of the Liquicap M, always use cleaning agents that do not attack the
surface of the housing or the seals.
Seals
The process seals of the pickup must be replaced periodically, particularly in the case of molded seals
(aseptic version). The period between changes depends on the frequency of cleaning cycles, the
cleaning temperature and the medium temperature.
Repair
In accordance with the Endress+Hauser repair principle, the devices have a modular design and
repairs can be carried out by the customer.
Spare parts are grouped logically into kits along with the respective replacement instructions. The
"Spare parts" section lists all spare part kits, with their order numbers, that you can order from
Endress+Hauser for repair of the Liquicap M. For more information about service and spare parts,

electronics by means of a manual upload (EEPROM).
You can put the device back into operation without recalibrating it. (For more information, refer to
