3.3 Responsibility of the operator
The instrument is used in the industrial sector. The operator is there-
fore responsible for legal obligations regarding safety at work.
The safety instructions within these operating instructions, as well as
the safety, accident prevention and environmental protection regula-
tions for the application area must be maintained.
The operator is obliged to maintain the product label in a legible
condition.
To ensure safe working on the instrument, the operating company
must ensure
that the instrument is suitable for the particular application in
accordance with its intended use.
that the requisite personal protective equipment is provided.
On the wetted parts of the instrument, small residual
amounts of the adjustment medium (e.g. compressed
air, water, oil) can adhere from production. With
increased requirements for technical cleanliness, suita-
bility for the application must be checked by the operator
before commissioning.
Liquid media with the property of changing the volume
during solidification can damage the measuring system
(e.g. water if it falls below the freezing point).
