Introduction
2.5 Security information
2.4 Checking the consignment
1. Check the packaging and the delivered items for visible damages.
2. Report any claims for damages immediately to the shipping company.
3. Retain damaged parts for clarification.
4. Check the scope of delivery by comparing your order to the shipping documents for
correctness and completeness.
WARNING
Using a damaged or incomplete device
Risk of explosion in hazardous areas.
● Do not use damaged or incomplete devices.
2.5 Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines, and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary
and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are
in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit:
https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available
and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer
supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber
threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed under

2.6 Transportation and storage
To guarantee sufficient protection during transport and storage, observe the following:
● Keep the original packaging for subsequent transportation.
● Devices/replacement parts should be returned in their original packaging.
● If the original packaging is no longer available, ensure that all shipments are properly
packaged to provide sufficient protection during transport. Siemens cannot assume liability
for any costs associated with transportation damages.
NOTICE
Insufficient protection during storage
The packaging only provides limited protection against moisture and infiltration.
● Provide additional packaging as necessary.

Note
Operation under special atmospheric conditions
Ultrasonic measurement requires that the sound wave travel through the atmosphere in a
consistent manner. Applications with atmospheric conditions different from air (including, but
not limited to, gas layer stratification, very high methane or CO2 concentrations), should be
properly assessed to ensure safe, reliable use in the event of measurement errors due to sound
wave velocity changes.
3.3 Use in hazardous areas
Qualified personnel for hazardous area applications
Persons who install, connect, commission, operate, and service the device in a hazardous
area must have the following specific qualifications:
● They are authorized, trained or instructed in operating and maintaining devices and systems
according to the safety regulations for electrical circuits, high pressures, aggressive, and
hazardous media.
Safety notes
3.3 Use in hazardous areas
● They are authorized, trained, or instructed in carrying out work on electrical circuits for
hazardous systems.
● They are trained or instructed in maintenance and use of appropriate safety equipment
according to the pertinent safety regulations.
WARNING
Use in hazardous area
Risk of explosion.
● Only use equipment that is approved for use in the intended hazardous area and labelled
accordingly.
● Don't use devices that have been operated outside the conditions specified for hazardous
areas. If you have used the device outside the conditions for hazardous areas permanently
make all Ex markings unrecognizable on the nameplate.
