The operator must use the instrument as it was intended to beused and follow the specifications of the following documents:l this operating instructions manuall this manufacturer declaration (24626)l the valid installation regulationsMax. increase of the surface temperature during operation:27 K (individual components in the instrument)With an ambient temperature of 70 °C (158 °F) on the housingand a process temperature of 70 °C (158 °F), the max. ambienttemperature during operation is 97 °C (207 °F).Measures to maintain explosion protection during operation:l Operate the instrument in the range of the specifiedelectrical limit values. Permissible supply voltage: see"Technical data"l Mount and operate the instrument in such a way that nodanger of ignition from electrostatic charges is to beexpected. The antenna, the process fitting or the housing(as the case may be depending on instrument version) aremade of electrically non-conductive plastic.l Make sure that the seal is mounted correctly betweenlower part of the housing and cover. Screw the cover ontightly.l Make sure there is no explosive atmosphere present if youintend to operate the instrument with opened coverl Make sure that the cable gland is tight and strain-relieved.The outer diameter of the connection cable must beadapted to the cable gland. Tighten the pressure screw ofthe cable gland carefully.l Cover unused openings for cable glands tightlyl Mount the instrument in such a way that the sensor cannottouch the vessel wall or vessel installations. Keep in mindthe influence of product movement in the vessel.l The surface temperature of the housing must not exceedthe ignition temperature of the surrounding explosiveatmosphereThis instrument was assessed by a person who fulfils the DINEN 60079-14 requirements.2.12 Functional range of approved instrumentsInstruments with specific approvals are partly supplied with anearlier hardware or software version.
