ME 30

Safety instructions

In order to ensure sufficient immunity from disturbance only use Greenline
shielding (see HBM’s special publication ”Greenline” Screening Concept, elec-
tromagnetic compatibility of measuring cable, G36.35.0)

The connection lines’ ( 

 50V) minimum insulation strength must be

350V(AC).

Appropriate use

The ME30 with the connected transducers may be used for measurement and
directly related control and regulation tasks, only. Any other use is not ap-
propriate.

To ensure safe operation, the ME30 may only be used according to the speci-
fications given in this manual. When using the transducer, the legal and safety
regulations for the respective application must also be observed. The same
applies if accessories are used.

General dangers in the case of non-observance of the safety instruc-
tions

The ME30 complies with the state of the art and is operationally reliable. If the
device is used and operated inappropriately by untrained personnel, residual
dangers might develop.

Any person charged with device installation, operation, maintenance or repair
must in any case have read and understood the operating manual and the
safety instructions, in particular.

Conditions on site

Protect the device from moisture or atmospheric influences such as rain,
snow, etc.
