Safety Information

Intended Use

 

The LiquiCount LC1 is designed for monitoring and logging pulse-based measurement data in industrial and commercial environments.

 

The device is not intended for:

  • Legal metrology applications
  • Billing or trade measurement
  • Safety-critical control systems
  • Protective interlocking systems
  • Use in explosive (ATEX) atmospheres
  • Medical applications

Use of the product outside its intended purpose is the responsibility of the installer or end user.

 

Electrical Safety

 

The LC1 operates exclusively from a 12–28 V DC SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) supply.

⚠ The device must only be powered from a properly regulated SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) source.

 

  • Do not connect to mains voltage.
  • Do not connect to DC supplies exceeding 28 V.
  • Do not connect to AC supplies.

 

Incorrect supply voltage may cause equipment damage and may invalidate warranty.

All signal inputs and outputs are SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)-level circuits only.

 

Installation Requirements

 

  • Installation must be performed by competent personnel.
  • The device is intended for fixed installation within a panel or enclosure.
  • Ensure correct sensor supply voltage selection prior to connection.
  • All wiring must comply with local electrical regulations.
  • Do not over-tighten mounting screws.
  • Disconnect power before wiring or servicing.

 

Mechanical Safety

 

The enclosure is designed for normal industrial handling.

  • Do not subject the device to excessive mechanical shock.
  • Do not strike or impact the enclosure.
  • Do not use the enclosure as a structural support.

Mechanical robustness has been evaluated in accordance with EN 61010-1 requirements for accessible surfaces.

 

EMC Considerations

 

This equipment has been designed and tested in accordance with:

EN 61326-1 (EMC requirements for measurement, control and laboratory equipment)

To maintain EMC performance:

  • Route sensor wiring separately from high-power conductors.
  • Follow installation instructions.
