Siemens SITRANS P500 Notice De Service page 13

WARNING
Use of incorrect device parts in potentially explosive environments
Devices and their associated device parts are either approved for different types of protection or they do not have
explosion protection. There is a danger of explosion if device parts (such as covers) are used for devices with explosion
protection that are not expressly suited for this type of protection. If you do not adhere to these guidelines, the test
certificates and the manufacturer warranty will become null and void.
● Use only device parts that have been approved for the respective type of protection in the potentially explosive
environment. Covers that are not suited for the "explosion-proof" type of protection are identified as such by a notice
label attached to the inside of the cover with "Not Ex d Not SIL".
● Do not swap device parts unless the manufacturer specifically ensures compatibility of these parts.
CAUTION
Hot surfaces resulting from hot process media
Danger of burns resulting from surface temperatures above 70 °C (155 °F).
● Take appropriate protective measures, for example contact protection.
● Make sure that protective measures do not cause the maximum permissible ambient temperature to be exceeded.
Refer to the information in Chapter "Technical data (Page 27)".
CAUTION
External stresses and loads
Damage to device by severe external stresses and loads (e.g. thermal expansion or pipe tension). Process media can be
released.
● Prevent severe external stresses and loads from acting on the device.
3.1.1 Installation location requirements
WARNING
Insufficient air supply
The device may overheat if there is an insufficient supply of air.
● Install the device so that there is sufficient air supply in the room.
● Observe the maximum permissible ambient temperature. Refer to the information in the section "Technical data
(Page 27)".
CAUTION
Aggressive atmospheres
Damage to device through penetration of aggressive vapors.
● Ensure that the device is suitable for the application.
NOTICE
Direct sunlight
Increased measuring errors.
● Protect the device from direct sunlight.
Make sure that the maximum ambient temperature is not exceeded. Refer to the information in the section Technical data
(Page 27).
