DANGER!
Damaged diaphragm of the flush process connection
If the diaphragm is damaged, the explosion protection is no longer guaran-

to life.
▶
Before commissioning, the diaphragm should be checked for visible
damage. Leaking fluid is indicative of damage.
▶
Protect the diaphragm from contact with abrasive media and against any
impacts.
