General safety instructions

Safety notes

For safety reasons it is important that the following points, especially those marked with a warning sign, are read and
understood before the system is installed:
• Installation, connection, commissioning and service must be carried out by personnel who are qualified and
authorized to do so.
• It is very important for any person working with the equipment to read and understand the instructions and direc
tions provided in this manual and follow instructions and directions before using the equipment.
• Only personnel authorized and trained by the owner of the equipment may operate the equipment.
• Installation personnel must ensure that the measuring system is correctly connected in accordance with the
connection diagram.
• For applications involving high working pressures or media that can be dangerous to people, surroundings, equip
ment or other in the event of pipe fracture, .he manufacturer recommends taking precautions such as special place
ment, shielding or installation of a safety guard or safety valve prior to installation of the sensor.
• Repair and service may be performed by approved manufacturer personnel only.
Manufacturer's design and safety statement
• Responsibility for the choice of flowmeter pipe material as regards abrasion and corrosion resistance lies with the
purchaser. The effect of any change in process medium during operation of the meter should be taken into ac-
count. Incorrect selection of flowmeter pipe material could lead to failure of the flowmeter.
• Stresses and loading caused by earthquakes, traffic, high winds and fire damage are not taken into account during
flowmeter design.
• Do not install the flowmeter such that it acts as a focus for pipeline stresses. External loading is not taken into
account during flowmeter design.
• Please be aware of the risk of installing the sensor in a highly vibrating environment. Parts may shake loose and the
complete system must be monitored in that case.
• Flanges and joints as well as related pressure/temperature (p/t) classification has been described in EN 1092-1.
• During operation do not exceed the pressure and/or temperature ratings indicated on the data label or in these
operating instructions.
• It is recommended that all installations include an appropriate safety valve and adequate means for draining.
• Under the „Pressure Equipment Directive" (PED), this product is a presssure accessory and not approved for use as
a safety accessory, as defined by the PED.
DANGER
Do not unscrew the transducers during pipe operation (especially for DN 50 ... DN 80).
