WARNING!
Before installation, commissioning and operation, ensure
that the appropriate bimetal thermometer has been
selected in terms of measuring range, design and specific
measuring conditions. The compatibility of the wetted
parts of the process connection (thermowell, thermowell
stem) with the medium must be tested.
Non-observance can result in serious injury and/or
damage to equipment.
Further important safety instructions can be found in the
individual chapters of these operating instructions.
2.1 Intended use
