Ex safety information is an integral part of this manual. As a result, it is crucial that the installation guidelines and connection values it lists are also observed. The icon on the name plate indicates the following: OI/FEX300/FEX500-EN FEX300, FEX500...
Prior to using corrosive and abrasive materials for measurement purposes, the operator must check the level of resistance of all parts coming into contact with the materials to be measured. ABB Automation Products GmbH will gladly support you in selecting the materials, but cannot accept any liability in doing so.
Failure to observe this safety information may result in damage to or destruction of the product and/or other system components. IMPORTANT (NOTE) This symbol indicates operator tips, particularly useful information, or important information about the product or its further uses. It does not indicate a dangerous or damaging situation. OI/FEX300/FEX500-EN FEX300, FEX500...
