Safety Instructions; General Characteristics - FAURE HERMAN UltraFlux Minisonic II Manuel D'instruction

Safety instructions

Using the device
The device, equipped with ultrasonic probes, enables the flow measurement of a fluid (gas or liquid) in a pipe.
It is important to set up the device correctly so that the measurement results are correct.
It is recommended that Ultraflux qualified personnel be called in to ensure this. This is strongly recommended
if your equipment is used to control a process, to intervene in a monitoring system, or in the case of other
applications where incorrect flow measurement would entail risks.
During normal operation, the unit must not be heated up in a way that could cause burns. No special
precautions need to be taken to allow it to cool down. If the temperature of the housing rises abnormally, it is
essential to switch off the device and send it to Ultraflux for expert evaluation. In the event of fire inside the
appliance, make sure to switch it off without opening or touching it, then call the competent services to secure
the place.
The unit must not be used beyond the possibilities and specifications published in this manual. It must be
stored in a dry place. It is advisable to wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) suitable for the environment
of the installation site.
The modification or disassembly of the unit must only be carried out by Ultraflux personnel. Ultraflux declines
all responsibility otherwise.
Connections as well as disconnections of the connectors must be carried out with the power off, insulated
equipment.
Ultraflux declines all responsibility for any incidents that may occur as a result of failure to observe these
instructions.
Equipments connected to the device
All equipment connected to the device must comply with the relevant safety standard and have SELV circuits.
(double insulation between primary and secondary)
Caution: The supply voltage of the measuring probes is high (may exceed 200V).
Maintenance work on the device
Interventions related to the maintenance of the device must only be carried out by Ultraflux personnel and
using only parts supplied by Ultraflux.
Temperature limits for Minisonic electronics
Use from -10°C to +60°C
Storage from -35°C to +60°C
