Note: The following describes the types of use of the device that are not permitted. This is not a complete list, but rather a list of reasonably foreseeable misuse. Only the use specified in chapters Intended use, Type of use and Field of application is permitted. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or consequential damage resulting from unauthorised use. The risk is borne solely by the operator.

  • The device must not be exposed to direct sunlight or direct weather influences (rain, snow, ...).
  • The device must not be installed in locations that may be flooded.
  • The device is not authorised for use in sewers.
  • The device must not be mounted hanging from the connection cable.
  • The device must not be operated with the lid open.
  • The device must not be operated without antenna.
  • When using antennas with a connection cable, neither the device nor the antenna may be suspended from the antenna cable.
  • Only one cable may be fed through each of the cable glands.
  • The cable glands must not be used in the field without the cable threaded through. If a cable gland is not used, it must be protected with a dummy plug.
  • Stranded wires must not be connected to the connection terminals of the device without crimped wire end sleeves.
  • Only a single cable may be inserted into a connection terminal. However, two stranded cables may be combined using a twin wire end sleeve and connected together to the connection terminal.
