IP 67: Total protection against dust; protection against immersion for 30 minutes under 1m of water. This protection is only valid if the installation has been carried out or audited by Ultraflux. This protection is only ensured when the connectors are connected or capped (where the connector is not in use).
The connectors must only be connected or disconnected with the power off and the equipment isolated. If the flow meter unit is opened by anyone other than an Ultraflux technician, the warranty will be rendered null and void. ...

Should the temperature of the unit rise abnormally, it is recommended to power off the flow meter and call Ultraflux for expert advice. In the event of a fire inside the flow meter, power it off without opening or touching it, then call the competent services in order to secure the premises.
It is recommended to follow the assembly method described below in order to avoid any risk of injury. Assembly must be carried out or inspected by Ultraflux to ensure the unit is leakproof and will operate correctly.
It is sometimes necessary to protect the inputs/outputs, the power supply and the ultrasonic chords. You are strongly recommended to contact Ultraflux to obtain a diagnosis on this point. Ultraflux accepts no responsibility in the event of the incorrect use of the flow meter, and in such cases, the Ultraflux guarantee would not be valid.
