3. Safety
The liquids must not have any large contamination or coarse particles
■
and must not have a tendency to crystallise. Ensure that the wetted
materials of the reed sensor are sufficiently resistant to the medium
being monitored. Not suitable for dispersions, abrasive liquids, highly
viscous media and colours.
This instrument is not permitted to be used in hazardous areas! For
■
these areas, reed sensors with approval (e.g. in accordance with
ATEX) are required.
The operating conditions specified in the operating instructions must
■
be observed.
Do not operate the instrument in the direct vicinity of ferromagnetic
■
environments (min. distance 50 mm [1.97 in]).
Do not operate the instrument in the immediate vicinity of strong
■
electromagnetic fields or in the immediate vicinity of equipment that
can be affected by magnetic fields (min. clearance 1 m [3.3 ft]).
The reed sensors must not be exposed to heavy mechanical strain
■
(impact, bending, vibration).
The technical specifications contained in these operating instructions
■
must be observed. Improper handling or operation of the instrument
outside of its technical specifications requires the instrument to be
taken out of service immediately and inspected by an authorised
WIKA service engineer.
The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended use
described here, and may only be used accordingly.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on
operation contrary to the intended use.
DANGER!
