The user is responsible to use, check and maintain the BioProTT Clamp-On SL according to this user manual. em-tec GmbH is neither liable nor responsible for any consequences arising from the use of the BioProTT Clamp-On SL that does not comply with the user manual or specifications in this document.
Clamp-On carried em-tec GmbH only. If these instructions are not followed, em-tec GmbH shall accept no liability for the component and the warranty will be void. If you experience any trouble with the measurement despite following the user manual, or if your BioProTT Clamp-On SL is damaged in any way, please contact our service department.
Once this is done, the sensor can be attached to the tube. Please note: total cable length between respective evaluation device BioProTT Clamp-On SL shall not exceed 4 m. Page 10 D162-704 BioProTT™ Clamp-On SL – User Manual– V4.0 Copyright em-tec GmbH...
For more information regarding the setup and handling of sensor and tube, refer to our TechNote Issue #1 "How to Optimize the Accuracy in Your Flow Measurement Application". Copyright em-tec GmbH D162-704 BioProTT™ Clamp-On SL – User Manual– V4.0 Page 11...
Before each measurement, the cables, connectors and pins must be checked for breaks or damages as this could result in wrong measurements. Do not use the BioProTT Clamp-On SL if you detect any damages. Page 12 D162-704 BioProTT™ Clamp-On SL – User Manual– V4.0 Copyright em-tec GmbH...

It must be ensured that the correct calibration parameters are used. • While it is possible to carry out measurements outside of the specified flow range, em-tec GmbH cannot guarantee that resulting flow values will be within the given accuracy range.
Clamp-On SL is not suited for cleaning processes using machines. Sterilization processes, especially steam sterilization or autoclaving, may not be used. The following surface disinfectant is recommended: Name Manufacturer Contact Bacillol® AF Hartmann www.hartmann.de Page 14 D162-704 BioProTT™ Clamp-On SL – User Manual– V4.0 Copyright em-tec GmbH...
Ensure that the calibration table used is the one needed for your respective application. Optional Mounting Solutions In order to mount the sensor or to fix it in one position, em-tec offers optional mounting solutions. The features differ slightly in regard to their design and handling depending on the sensor size.

If the mounting feature and thus sensor is not positioned correctly in regard to the tubing, e.g. due to kinking or excessive bending, this might impact the flow measurement and lead to incorrect flow values. For more information, see chapter 10.3 "BioProTT Mounting Solutions". Page 16 D162-704 BioProTT™ Clamp-On SL – User Manual– V4.0 Copyright em-tec GmbH...
If any of these parameters change, it is possible to send the sensors in for a re-adjustment. In addition, em-tec GmbH recommends regular calibrations to be carried out. Ideally, the time between re-calibrations should not exceed 24 months. Other than the adjustment, the calibration can be carried out by the customer on site.
BioProTT™ Clamp-On SL Troubleshooting If there are any issues with the BioProTT Clamp-On SL, try the following suggestions. If the problem cannot be solved, please contact your local distributor or em-tec GmbH directly. Problem Possible Cause Action Check if the sensor is damaged.
