water can thus drain off. This applies mainly to mounting
outdoors, in areas where moisture is expected (e.g. by
cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels.

Do not hold LEVEL SWITCH 8112 on the tuning fork.
Particularly with flange or tube versions, the tuning fork can be
damaged just by the weight of the instrument. Transport
coated instruments very carefully and avoid touching the
tuning fork.
Remove the protective cover just before mounting.
The process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or low
pressure in the vessel. Before use, check if the seal material is
resistant against the measured product and the process
temperature.
The max. permissible pressure is stated in chapter "Technical
data" in the "Supplement" or on the type label of the sensor.
The vibrating level switch is a measuring instrument and must
be treated accordingly. Bending the vibrating element will
destroy the instrument.
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in!
Applying tightening force on the housing can damage its
rotational mechanical parts.
To screw in, use the hexagon above the thread.
