1.1

Designated use

The Gammapilot M is a compact transmitter for non-contact level, level limit, density and
concentration measurement. The measuring range of a single Gammapilot M is up to 2 m. Arbitrary
measuring ranges can be achieved by cascading of several Gammapilot M. When used for level limit
detection, the Gammapilot M is certified according to SIL 2 (IEC61508) and WHG.
1.2

Installation, commissioning, operation

The Gammapilot M is fail-safe and is constructed to the state-of-the-art. It meets the appropriate
standards and EC directives. However, if you use it improperly or other than for its designated use,
it may pose application-specific hazards, e.g. product overflow due to incorrect installation or
configuration. Installation, electrical connection, start-up, operation and maintenance of the
measuring device must therefore be carried out exclusively by trained specialists authorised by the
system operator. Technical personnel must have read and understood these operating instructions
and must adhere to them. You may only undertake modifications or repair work to the device when
it is expressly permitted by the operating instructions.
1.3

Hazardous area

Measuring systems for use in hazardous environments are accompanied by separate "Ex
documentation", which is an integral part of this Operating Manual. Strict compliance with the
installation instructions and ratings as stated in this supplementary documentation is mandatory.
• Ensure that all personnel are suitably qualified.
• Observe the specifications in the certificate as well as national and local standards and regulations.
