Fundamental work safety notice

Safety standard of equipment

This instrument corresponds to the basic safety requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive
and has been designed using state-of-the-art technology. It was tested at the factory, based on the
safety requirements, and shipped in proper working order. In order to maintain this condition over the
expected life of the instrument the requirements described in this operating manual must be
observed and followed.
Please note the special information provided for commissioning the explosion-proof equipment ver-
sion. You will find this in the Ex chapter of the main operating manual (Technical data of explosion-
proof version)
Only for instruments using converters series AM54_31/32:
– The instrument satisfies the EMC requirements defined in EN61326 / NAMUR NE21.
– All instrument parameters are stored in a FRAM (including the present counter values) during a
supply power failure. Once the power is turned on again , the instrument is immediately ready for
operation.

the volume flowrate under constant operating conditions (pressure, temperature, density). The flow-
rate can also be converted to standard and mass units.
use within the specified values
observing and following the information relative to allowable fluids

observing and following the information in the accompanying documents (specifications, diagrams,
dimensions)
operation as a flexible adapter in piping, e.g. to compensate for pipe offsets, pipe vibrations, pipe
expansions etc..
use as a climbing aid, e.g. for assembly purposes.
use as a support for external loads, e.g. as support for piping etc..
material loss e.g. by drilling the housing or material gain e.g. by painting over the factory panel/type
plate or welding on or soldering parts.
repairs, modifications and supplements or the installation of spare parts is only permitted if under-
taken as described in the operating manual. More extensive work must be agreed with us before-
hand. We assume no liability for unauthorized work.
