general conditions listed in the Operating Instructions and supplementary documentation.
‣
Check the nameplate to verify if the device ordered can be put to its intended use in the
approval-related area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety).
‣
If the measuring device is not operated at atmospheric temperature, compliance with the
relevant basic conditions specified in the associated device documentation is absolutely
essential.
