Installation mounting (except for level)

Requirements
Note
Compare the desired operating data with the data on the nameplate.
Please also refer to the information on the remote seal if this is fitted.
Note
Protect the pressure transmitter from:
• Direct heat radiation
• Rapid temperature fluctuations
• Heavy contamination
• Mechanical damage
• Direct sunlight
Note
The housing may only be opened for maintenance, local operation or to make electrical
connections.
The installation location is to be as follows:
● Easily accessible
● As close as possible to the measuring point
● Vibration-free
● Within the permitted ambient temperature values
Installation configuration
The pressure transmitter may in principle be configured above or below the pressure tapping
point. The recommended configuration depends on the medium.
Installation configuration for gases
Install the pressure transmitter above the pressure tapping point.
Lay the pressure tubing with a constant gradient to the pressure tapping point, so that any
condensate produced can drain in the main line and thereby avoid corruption of the
measured values.
