CAUTION!
Responsibility for the use of the measuring devices with regard to suitability, intended use and
corrosion resistance of the used materials against the measured fluid lies solely with the
operator.
INFORMATION!
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use for other than
the intended purpose.

If you install a device with a cable probe in a non-metallic tank or open-air pit, a strong
electromagnetic field near to the device can have an unwanted effect on the accuracy. Use a
device with a coaxial probe for this type of installation.
