In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept. Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines and networks.
The sales contract contains all obligations on the part of Siemens as well as the complete and solely applicable warranty conditions. Any statements regarding device versions described in the manual do not create new warranties or modify the existing warranty.
This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference to several frequency based communications. The transducers operate in association with Siemens' ultrasonic level monitoring products by converting electrical pulses that are provided by the transceiver into ultrasonic pulses. When transmitted, these ultrasonic pulses reflect from the material surface and echo back to the transducer.

Safety notes Preconditions for use This device left the factory in good working condition. In order to maintain this status and to ensure safe operation of the device, observe these instructions and all the specifications relevant to safety. Observe the information and symbols on the device. Do not remove any information or symbols from the device.
Safety notes 2.1 Preconditions for use 2.1.3 Improper device modifications WARNING Improper device modifications Risk to personnel, system and environment can result from modifications to the device, particularly in hazardous areas. • Only carry out modifications that are described in the instructions for the device. Failure to observe this requirement cancels the manufacturer's warranty and the product approvals.
Safety notes 2.2 Use in hazardous areas WARNING Risk of explosion If the top section separates from the main body of the transducer, live circuitry will be exposed to the hazardous environment, increasing the risk of an explosion if volatile or explosive dusts or gases are in sufficient concentration.
Due to the large number of possible applications, each detail of the described device versions for each possible scenario during commissioning, operation, maintenance or operation in systems cannot be considered in the instructions. If you need additional information not covered by these instructions, contact your local Siemens office or company representative. Note...
