    2). In particular, it is not designed for direct or indirect protection of personal and machinery.  SCHMIDT Technology cannot give any warranty as to its suitability for certain purpose and cannot be held liable for errors contained in these instructions for use or for accidental or sequential damage in connec- tion with the delivery, performance or use of this unit.
  • Page 4: Application Range

    2 Application Range ® The SCHMIDT Flow sensor SS 20.420 (article number: 538045) is de- signed for stationary use in cleanrooms, air ducts or air shafts under at- mospheric pressure conditions and clean environmental conditions. The sensor measures the flow velocity of the measuring medium as standard velocity (unit: m/s) relative to standard pressure of 1,013.25 hPa and...

    7 Information on Operation Sterilization The SS 20.420 can be sterilized during operation. Approved disinfectants are alcohol (drying without leaving residues). If too much cleaning agent is applied to the sensor, the "soiling detection" can be activated and the analog signal is set to error state (0 V). As soon as the sensor element is dried, the sensor is automatically reset to its normal function.
