Safety instructions
Additional safety precautions
Additional safety precautions to meet the requirements of
the relevant national and local accident prevention regu­
lations must be taken in plants where malfunctions could
cause major damage, loss of data or even personal
injury.
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer
covers only a small area of measurement technology.
Before starting up the transducer in a system, a project
planning and risk analysis must first be implemented,
taking into account all the safety aspects of measure­
ment and automation technology so that residual risks
are minimized. This particularly concerns personal and
machine protection. The transducers cannot implement
any safety-relevant cutoffs. In the event of a fault, the
relevant precautions must establish safe operating condi­
tions.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety
instructions
The transducer corresponds to the state of the art and is
failsafe. The transducer may give rise to residual dangers
if it is inappropriately installed or operated.
