When there is a built-in transmitter and/or a digital display, the special conditions from the
type examination certificate (see chapter 4 „Special conditions for use (X conditions)")
apply.
1) The values in brackets apply to special designs. These probes are manufactured using special sealing compounds.
Moreover, they feature cases made of stainless steel and cable glands for low-temperature ranges.
