The cleaning process must be done in a way, that:
• The cleaning agent cannot enter into the unit through the shaft sealing, lid sealing or cable gland.
• No mechanical damage of the shaft sealing, lid sealing, cable gland or other parts can happen.

A possible accumulation of dust on the unit does not increase the maximum surface temperature and
must therefore not be removed for purposes of maintaining the surface temperature in hazardous 5
locations.

Function test A frequent function test may be required depending on the application.
Observe all relevant safety precautions related with a safe work depending on the application (e.g.
hazardous locations, hazardous bulk material, electrical safety, process pressure).

This test does not proof if the sensor is sensitive enough to measure the material of the application. 6
Function test is done by stopping the rotating paddle with appropriate means and monitor if a correct
change of the signal output from uncovered to covered happens.

Production date The production date can be traced by the serial number on the typeplate. Please contact the
manufacturer or your local distrubutor.

4 General Notes

Marking Devices with Ex approval are marked on name plate.

Process pressure The device construction allows process over-pressure up to 0.8/5/10 bar (11.6/73/145psi) (see name
plate). These pressures are allowed for test purposes. The definition of the Ex approvals are only
5 valid for a container-over-pressure between -0.2..+0.1 bar (-2.9..+1.45psi).
For higher or lower pressures the approvals are not valid.

Process and ambient The permitted temperature ranges are marked on the name plate.
