Safety instructions for operation

During operation with hot fluids, contact with the surface may result in burns.
Aggressive fluids may result in corrosion or abrasion of the parts that come into contact with the
medium. As a result, pressurized fluids may escape prematurely.
Wear to the flange gasket or process connection gaskets (e.g., aseptic threaded pipe
connections, Tri-Clamp, etc.) may enable a pressurized medium to escape.
When using internal flat gaskets, these can become embrittled through CIP/SIP processes.
If pressure shocks exceeding the device's permissible nominal pressure occur continuously
during operation, this can have a detrimental effect on the device's service life.

1.10 Technical limit values

The device is designed for use exclusively within the stated values on the name plate and within
the technical limit values specified in the data sheets.
The following technical limit values must be observed:
• The permissible operating pressure (PS) in the permissible temperature (TS) may not
exceed the pressure-temperature ratings.
• The maximum operating temperature may not be exceeded.
• The permitted operating temperature may not be exceeded.
• The housing protection system must be observed.
• The flowmeter sensor may not be operated in the vicinity of powerful electromagnetic fields,
e.g., motors, pumps, transformers, etc. A minimum spacing of approx. 1 m (3.28 ft) should
be maintained. For installation on or to steel parts (e.g., steel brackets), a minimum spacing
of approx. 100 mm (3.94 inch) should be maintained (based on IEC801-2 and IECTC77B).

1.11 Allowed measuring media

When using measuring media, the following points must be observed:
• Measuring media (fluids) may only be used if it can be ensured that the chemical and
physical properties—which are required for operational security—of the components coming
into contact with the media are not affected during the operating life. This can be achieved
through the use of state-of-the-art technology or the operating experience of the operator.
Components coming into contact with the media include measuring electrodes, lining, and, if
applicable, earth electrodes, mating parts, protective washers or protective flanges
• Measuring media with unknown properties or abrasive measuring media may only be used if
the operator is able to perform regular and suitable tests to ensure the safe condition of the
device
• The information on the name plate must be observed
