WARNING! Before installation, commissioning and operation, please make absolutely sure that the correct
temperature probe has been selected with regard to design and specific measuring conditions. Failure to do
so may result in serious personal injury and/or damage to property.
• The selection of the products and, in particular, the determination of their suitability for a specific purpose are the sole
responsibility of the purchaser, who must also ensure that incorrect planning, operation or installation does not cause any

Intended use

• For the intended use of the probe, please refer to the technical data and the commissioning instructions in the operating
instructions. The product is designed and built exclusively for the intended use described there and may only be used
accordingly. The technical specifications must be observed. Claims due to improper use are excluded.
• This product must not be used for safety-relevant tasks, such as monitoring or protecting persons against danger or
injury, as an emergency stop switch on systems or machines, etc.
• This type of temperature probe has been developed, qualified and manufactured to the highest quality standards.
Application-specific environmental or stress conditions can influence the behaviour and lead to deviations from the
specifications in the data sheet. To avoid this, we recommend application-specific advice.
Application-specific environmental or stress conditions can be in particular:
• Ingress of humidity, which can lead to falsification of measured values
• Vibration, which causes high acceleration forces
• UV irradiation, which can lead to embrittlement of the cable insulation
• Tensile forces acting on the cable, which can damage the probes internal structure
• Insufficient thermal coupling to the measured medium, with increased response times as a result
• impact with excessively high temperatures, which can change or destroy the built-in measuring resistor or electronic
components
• corrosion at the cable ends or the connector contacts, so that measured value falsifications can occur
1.3.

Personnel qualification

WARNING! - Risk of injury due to insufficient professional qualification! Improper handling can lead to
considerable personal injury and damage to property.
• The activities described in these operating instructions may only be carried out by adequately qualified personnel. Special
operating conditions may require additional, appropriate knowledge, e.g. about aggressive media, possible dangers or
