Safety information
WARNING
High pressure and temperature hazard
Failure to reduce the pressure and temperature may cause serious injury to personnel.
Before removing the sensor, reduce the process pressure to 0 psig and cool down the process
temperature.
CAUTION
Equipment damage
The wetted sensor materials may not be compatible with process composition and operating
conditions.
Application compatibility is entirely the operator's responsibility.
WARNING
Physical access
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to and/or misconfiguration of
end users’ equipment. This could be intentional or unintentional and needs to be protected against.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and fundamental to protecting your
