2.1 Intended use
The pressure sensor is used to convert pressure into an electrical signal.
The pressure sensor has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here and may
only be used accordingly.
This is class B equipment for emissions and is intended for use in industrial environments. In other
environments, e.g. residential or commercial installations, it can intefere with other equipment under
certain conditions. In such circumstances the operator is expected to take the appropriate measures.
The technical specifications contained in these operating instructions must be observed. Improper
handling or operation of the pressure sensor outside of its technical specifications requires the
instrument to be taken out of service immediately and inspected by an authorised WIKA service
engineer.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation contrary to the intended use.
