Safety Information
WARNING!
Do not exceed temperature and pressure limitations of 266 °F (130 °C) and 43 psig (400 kPa, 4 bar).
WARNING!
HIGH PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE HAZARD
Before removing the senosr, reduce the process pressure to 0 psig and cool down the process temperature.
Failure to reduce the pressure and temperature may cause serious injury to personnel.
WARNING!
The electrolyte is highly alkaline. Protect your hands with gloves and use safety goggles. Avoid contact of the electrolyte with the skin,
eyes, and mucous membranes
