6. Commissioning, operation
Before installation, commissioning and operation, ensure that the appropriate instrument
has been selected in terms of scale range, design and specific measuring conditions.

WARNING!
Physical injury
When commissioning, there is a danger from aggressive media and high
pressures.

WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment caused
by hazardous media
Upon contact with hazardous media (e.g. oxygen, acetylene, flammable
or toxic substances), harmful media (e.g. corrosive, toxic, carcinogenic,
radioactive), and also with refrigeration plants and compressors, there is a
danger of physical injuries and damage to property and the environment.
Should a failure occur, aggressive media with extremely high temperature
and under high pressure or vacuum may be present at the instrument.

▶
WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment caused
by media escaping under high pressure
With the pressurisation of the instrument, as a result of poor sealing of the
process connection, media under high pressure can escape. Due to the high
energy of the media that can escape in the event of a failure, the possibility of
physical injuries and damage to property exists.

CAUTION!
Damage to the instrument
In order to prevent any damage to the instrument, observe the following:

Observe the information in the material safety data sheet for the
corresponding medium.
Before connecting to a vessel, pipeline or system, depressurise them.
For these media, in addition to all standard regulations, the appropriate
existing codes or regulations must also be followed.
Wear the requisite protective equipment.
The sealing of the process connection must be carried out expertly and
checked for leak tightness.
Make sure the threaded connections are clean and undamaged.
The instrument should be installed in such a way that process-related
electrostatic charges (e.g. caused by flowing media) can be excluded.
Ensure that the antenna is not damaged and not bent.
The instrument must not be subjected to any external loading (e.g. use as
a climbing aid, support for objects).
