Danger from the outflow of operating fluid
Observe all applicable accident protection and safety regulations
for electrical equipment.
various dangerous situations
To avoid injury take care:
• to prevent any unintentional power supply switch-on.
• to ensure that installation and maintenance work are
carried out by qualified, authorised personnel in possession of
the appropriate tools.
• to keep the device away from any highly flammable materials or
fluids and avoid any contact with bare hands,
• to guarantee a defined or controlled restarting of the process,
after a power supply or a medium supply interruption,
• to use the device only if in perfect working order and in
compliance with the instructions provided in the instruction
manual,
• to observe best industry practice for the installation and use of
these devices,
• not to use the MFM / MFC types 8700, 8701, 8703, 8705 /
8710, 8711, 8713, 8715 for controlling and/or measuring the
flow-rate of contaminated (particle size > 25 µm) or humid or
contaminated fluids,
• not to operate the device without the stainless steel mesh filter
disc installed at the factory,
• not to operate the device in a mounting position which deviates
from the calibration conditions,
• not to operate the device with higher pressures than the specified
tightness pressure (MFC) respectively calibration pressure
(MFM),
• not to subject the device to mechanical loads (e.g. by placing
objects on top of it or by using it as a step).
• not to make any external modifications to the device. Do not
paint or varnish any part of the device. Do not feed any other
fluids into the system other than the designated operating
fluid indicated on the device name plate. Exception: Agent for
cleaning and decontaminating the device (see also chap. 9.2.1).
In doing so, observe the compatibility of the materials used for
the device. A chemical compatibility chart can be found on the

If in doubt, contact the manufacturer.
note
elements / components sensitive to electrostatic discharges
• This device contains electronic components sensitive to
electrostatic discharges. They may be damaged if they are
touched by an electrostatically charged person or object.
During electrostatic discharge, they will become defective
immediately or will fail when energized.
• To minimise or even avoid all damage due to an electrostatic
discharge, take all the precautions described in the EN 61340-
5-1 and 5-2 norms.
• Also ensure that you do not touch any of the live electrical
components.
