Safety Information

Please always observe the following safety instructions!
Please pay attention to the safety instructions with the following pictograms and signal words in these operating instructions:
Warning | Caution | Danger
indicates general hazardous situations or cases
which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or
death.
Notice : Is used to lead users to helpful information not related to personal injury.
Safety Instructions
Always read these operating instructions carefully prior to installing the new product. Always adhere to the instructions contained
herein, especially the safety instructions, otherwise there is a potential risk of personal injury and damage to instruments and plants.
Even though we provides assistance through personal consultation or the respective literature, it is the responsibility of the customers
to determine the suitability of the product for the specific application.
The flow switches are state-of-the-art devices. This concerns switching point accuracy, functioning and safe operation of the device.
However, professional and safety conscious conduct of the operator is required to ensure safe operation.
Qualified Personnel
The personnel entrusted with installing, operating and maintaining the flow switches have to be suitably qualified; the required
knowledge can be gained via training courses or appropriate on-the-job instruction. The personnel have to be familiar with the
contents of these instructions, which have to be available to them at all times.
The electrical connection should only be carried out by a fully qualified electrician.
All work has to be carried out in accordance with existing national regulations on accident prevention and safety at work and with any
internal regulations of the operator, even if they are not specified in these instructions.
Special Safety Instructions
The operational safety of the supplied equipment is only guaranteed if it is operated according to its intended use. The specified limit
values (see the chapter entitled "Technical data") should never be exceeded.
To avoid damages to the flow switch and the monitored system, only use flow switches for minimum or maximum monitoring of the
flow of liquids.
Always follow and adhere to the flow switch installation instructions.
Never operate the flow switch in systems which have a greater flow rate than the specified max. flow rate (see the chapter entitled
"Technical data", details of the max. flow rate). Otherwise it will cause irreparable damage to the flow switch.
Prior to flow switch installation, ensure that all the materials of the flow switch are chemically and mechanically-resistant to the
medium which is to be monitored and to all external factors.
Ensure that the medium is free from magnetic particles.
Suitable measures should be taken to prevent the medium from freezing. If the flow switch is to be used in ambient temperatures of <
39.2 °F, do not carry out any operation beforehand with pure water, e.g. a test run. Residual water in the flow switch can result in frost
damage.
No greases, oils etc. should be used during the installation of the FES Series devices due to the material resistance.
Ensure that the max. specified operating pressure is not exceeded.
Never remove a flow switch or its upper parts from a pipe system under pressure.
IMPORTANT!
indicates situations or cases which, if not avoided,
could result in damage or failure of the UltraFlo
equipment.
