2.2 Intended use
The model LS-1000 is a submersible pressure sensor that is used to convert hydrostatic pressure into an electrical
signal. The submersible pressure sensor may only be used in such applications as are within its technical performance
limits, in particular with regard to its material resistance limit, leakage rate limits and permissible temperature and
EN
pressure limits.
It is the sole responsibility of the manufacturer or operator of a machine or plant to ensure the suitability of the
submersible pressure sensor, and its media resistance, within the application through proper choice of materials and
maintenance cycles.
→ For performance limits, see chapter 8 "Specifications"
The mounting, dismounting, installation, parameterisation and maintenance of the submersible pressure sensor in
industrial environments absolutely requires suitably skilled personnel in accordance with chapter 2.4 "Personnel
qualification".
The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here, and may only be used
accordingly.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation contrary to the intended use.
2.3 Improper use
Any use beyond or different to the intended use is considered as improper use. Unauthorised modifications to the
instrument are not permissible.
Use in the following application areas counts as improper use:
Safety or emergency shutdown devices
■
Hazardous areas
■
Abrasive and viscous media or applications with hydrogen and oxygen
■
Rail vehicles, medical devices, refrigeration technology
■
2.4 Personnel qualification
Skilled personnel
Skilled personnel, authorised by the operator, are understood to be personnel who, based on their technical training,
knowledge of measurement and control technology and on their experience and knowledge of country-specific
regulations, current standards and directives, are capable of carrying out the work described and independently
recognising potential hazards.
