Intended use

Application and media
The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is intended for continuous,
non-contact level measurement primarily in bulk solids. Because of its operating frequency of
approx. 80 GHz, a maximum radiated peak power of 6.3 mW and an average output power of
63 µW, unrestricted use outside of closed, metallic vessels is also permitted (for example over
heaps). Operation does not pose any danger whatsoever to humans and animals.
If the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and the conditions listed in the instructions
and additional documentation are observed, the measuring device may be used for the
following measurements only:
‣
Measured process variables: level, distance, signal strength
‣
Calculable process variables: volume or mass in any shape of vessel
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
‣
Use the measuring device only for media against which the process-wetted materials are
adequately resistant.
‣
Observe the limit values in the "Technical data".
Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-intended use.
Avoid mechanical damage:
‣
Do not touch or clean device surfaces with pointed or hard objects.
Clarification of borderline cases:
‣
For special fluids and fluids for cleaning, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide assistance in
verifying the corrosion resistance of fluid-wetted materials, but does not accept any
warranty or liability.
Residual risks
Due to heat transfer from the process as well as power loss in the electronics, the temperature
of the electronics housing and the assemblies it contains (e.g. display module, main
electronics module and I/O electronics module) may rise to 80 °C (176 °F). When in operation,
the sensor may reach a temperature close to the medium temperature.
