Safety instructions
1.1 Intended use
The OPTITEMP thermometer is used to measure the temperature of gases, liquids, vapour and
solids in industrial applications. The devices are particularly suited to the measurement of
• liquids with low viscosity,
• water and chemicals with low corrosiveness,
• saturated steam and superheated steam.
1.2 Approvals and certifications
1.2.1 CE
Article 1, section 2.1.4 of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC does not apply to the
OPTITEMP thermometer. For this reason, neither a conformity assessment nor a CE marking is
possible. The EC directives applicable to temperature transmitters are contained in the
corresponding transmitter documentation.
1.2.2 ATEX
ATEX approval for the OPTITEMP thermometer is pending. As soon as this is available, you have
the option of ordering Ex-approval according to ATEX. The relevant Ex handbook contains more
detailed information.
