2 Liability

The liability of Hamilton Bonaduz AG is detailed in the document «General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery».

Hamilton is expressly not liable for direct or indirect losses arising from use of the sensors. It must in particular be insured in this conjunction that malfunctions can occur on account of the inherently limited useful life of sensors contingent upon their relevant applications. The user is responsible for the calibration, maintenance and regular replacement of the sensors. In the case of critical sensor applications, Hamilton recommends using back-up measuring points in order to avoid consequential damages. The user is responsible for taking suitable precautions in the event of a sensor failure.

3 Safety Precautions

Additionally, for warnings and alarms according to USP <645>, two digital outputs are integrated into the sensor.

ATTENTION! The Conducell UPW Arc sensor has a built-in temperature sensor (NTC 22 kOhm). This temperature sensor is to be used only for monitoring the sensor conditions, not for controlling the process temperature.

ATTENTION! Conducell UPW Arc is not intended for hazardous atmospheres.

ATTENTION! The measurement values transmitted over wireless communication are not intended to be used for process control.

and Hazards

ATTENTION! Read the following safety instructions carefully before installing and operating the Conducell UPW Arc sensor.

3.1 General Precautions

For safe and correct use of Conducell UPW Arc sensor, it is essential that both operating and service personnel follow generally accepted safety procedures as well as the safety instructions given in this document, the Conducell UPW Arc sensor operation instruction manual. The specification given in the «Specification Sheet» as regards temperature, pressure etc. may under no circumstances be exceeded. Inappropriate use or misuse can be dangerous.

5Operating Instructions Conducell UPW Arc Sensors

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND HAZARDS PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The lifetime of the Conducell UPW Arc sensor highly depends on the specific conditions of the application. Temperature, pressure, chemicals used may accelerate the ageing of the sensor. See chapter 7 for replacement conditions.

Cleaning, assembly and maintenance should be performed by personnel trained in such work. Before removing the sensor from the measuring setup, always make sure that no process medium can be accidentally spilled. When removing and cleaning the sensor, it is recommended to wear safety goggles and protective gloves. The sensor can not be repaired by the operator and has to be sent back to Hamilton for inspection.

Necessary precautions should be taken when transporting the sensors. For repair or shipment the sensor should be sent back in the original reusable packaging box. Every sensor sent back for repair must be decontaminated.

If the conditions described in these operating instructions manual are not adhered to or if there is any inappropriate interference with the equipment, all of our manufacturer’s warranties become obsolete.

3.2 Operating of Conducell UPW Arc Sensor

Conducell UPW Arc sensors must be used for their intended applications and in optimum safety and operational conditions. The specifications (such as temperature or pressure) defined in the section entitled ‘Technical Specification’ must not be exceeded under any circumstances. Potential hazards can exist if the sensor is not operated correctly or appropriately.

Assembly and maintenance must be performed only by trained personnel.

Make sure that the PG13,5 thread and the O-ring are not damaged when screwing the sensor into the process (PG 13,5 version only). O-rings are consumable parts which must be exchanged regularly (at least once per year). Even when all required safety measures have been complied with, potential risks still exist with respect to leaks or mechanical damage to the armature. Wherever there are seals or screws, gases or liquids can leak out undetected.

Before removing the sensor from its measurement setup, always make sure that no process medium can be accidentally spilled. The built-in temperature sensor can only be used for monitoring the sensor conditions, not for controlling the process temperature.

Keep the Conducell UPW Arc sensor away from other equipment which emits electromagnetic radio frequency fields, and minimize static electricity in the immediate environment of the measuring parts. Carefully follow all the instructions in chapter 5.3 to avoid electrical damage to the sensor. The contacts must be clean and dry before sensor is connected to the cable.

ATTENTION! Switch off the power supply and unplug the connector before dismounting the Conducell UPW Arc sensor.

ATTENTION! If the power supply (230VAC/24VDC) is switched off or disconnected the reading on the PCS is wrong.

3.4 Earthing

The sensor has to be mounted at the mounting location with an electrostatically conductivity of < 1MOhm. It is recommended to assign the VP 8 cable shield to earth (PE potential equalization) especially in electromagnetically noisy environments. This significantly improves noise immunity and signal quality.

3.5 Chemical, Radioactive or Biological Hazard Precautions

Selection of the appropriate safety level and implementation of the required safety measures for working with Conducell UPW Arc sensor is the sole responsibility of the user.

If working with hazardous liquids observe and carry out the maintenance procedures, paying particular attention to cleaning and decontamination. If Conducell UPW Arc sensor becomes contaminated with biohazardous, radioactive or chemical material, it should be cleaned. Failure to observe and carry out the maintenance procedures may impair the reliability and correct function of the measuring module.

ATTENTION! When unscrewing the PG13,5 thread connection never turn the sensor at the connector head.

3.3 Electrical Safety Precautions

Do not connect the sensor to a power source of any voltage beyond the range stated in the power rating Technical Specifications (see www.hamiltoncompany.com).

Always use Hamilton VP 8 cables for safe connection. Cables are available in a broad range of lengths (Chapter 11). Make sure the cable is intact and properly plugged to avoid any short circuit.
