Safety instructions
1.1
Designated use
The LUC-M** is a compact measuring device for continuous, non-contact level
measurement. Depending on the sensor, the measuring range is up to 15 m in fluids
and up to 7 m in bulk solids. By using the linearisation function, the LUC-M** can also
be used for flow measurements in open channels and measuring weirs.
1.2
Installation, commissioning, operation
The LUC-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
Operational safety
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 regulations.
