VEGAPULS 62 is a high-tech instrument requiring the strict
observance of standard regulations and guidelines. The

effects are to be expected. The instrument can also be used
without restriction on the side of metallic, closed vessels. The
user must take note of the safety instructions in this operating
instructions manual, the country-specific installation standards
(e.g. the VDE regulations in Germany) as well as all prevailing
safety regulations and accident prevention rules.
