with specially coated diaphragms (abrasive) or versions with open connect-
ing flanges (viscous).
Any use beyond or different to the intended use is considered as improper use.

3.4 Responsibility of the operator

The instrument is used in the industrial sector. The operator is therefore 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 regulations 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 suitable first-aid equipment is available and aid is provided whenever required.
„
that the operating personnel are regularly instructed in all topics regarding work safety,
„
first aid and environmental protection and know the operating instructions and in particu-
lar, the safety instructions contained therein.
that the instrument is suitable for the particular application in accordance with its intended
„
use.
that personal protective equipment is available.
„
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, suitability 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).
