1.3 Warnings
• This sensor is designed for use in industry and science. It may only be used for the measuring of aqueous
solutions, e.g. process wastewater, river water, groundwater or seawater.
• Sensors made of stainless steel must be cleaned immediately after contact with salt water or other sub-
stances that cause corrosion (e.g. acids, alkalis, chlorine-based compounds). The material resistance
should be tested for each application.
• VIPER has NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) seals. Sealing rings made from other materials may be used
upon individual request. Before operation, please ensure that the measured medium does not damage
the seals.
• Do not cut, damage or change the cord. Make sure that no heavy objects are placed on the cord and that
the cord is not folded. Make sure that the cord is not run near hot surfaces.
• If the sensor cable is damaged, it must be replaced with an original part by the customer support of TriOS
Mess- und Datentechnik GmbH.
• Do not place unsuitable items in the optical path when the measurement process is in operation, because
this can cause damage to the sensor or incorrect measurement results.
• Stop operation of the sensor if excessive heat develops (i.e., if it is hot to the touch). Switch o the sen-
sor immediately and unplug the power cord from the power supply. Please contact your dealer or TriOS
technical support.
• Never try to disassemble or modify a part of the sensor if such a procedure is not explicitly described in
this manual. Inspections, modications and repairs may only be done by the dealer or by qualied experts
authorized by TriOS.
• Devices from TriOS Mess- und Datentechnik GmbH meet the highest safety standards. Repairs to the
device (that involve the replacement of the connecting cable) must be carried out by TriOS Mess- und
Datentechnik GmbH or a workshop authorized by TriOS. Faulty, improper repairs can result in accidents
and injuries.
1.4 Users and Operating Requirements
The VIPER photometer has been developed for use in industry and science. The target group for the operation
of VIPER probe is technically skilled sta in plants, sewage treatment plants, water plants and institutes. The
use of this device often requires the handling of hazardous substances. We assume that the operating person-
nel are familiar with dealing with dangerous substances based on their professional training and experience.
The operating personnel must be able to correctly understand and implement the safety labels and information
on the packaging and in the package inserts of the test kits.
Sensors made of stainless steel are not made for use in seawater or high chloride
concentrations (corrosion). Only sensors made of titanium can be used here.
TriOS does not guarantee the plausibility of the measured values. The user is
always responsible for monitoring and interpreting the measured values.
