Mounting On The Container - Siemens 7MF03 Series Compact Operating Instructions

Protect the pressure transmitter from:
● Direct heat radiation
● Rapid temperature fluctuations
● Heavy contamination
● Mechanical damage
● Direct sunlight
Note
Select the height of the mounting flange such that the pressure transmitter is always mounted
below the lowest fill height to be measured.
Requirement
● You have compared the desired operating data with the data on the nameplate.
● You have adhered to the information on the remote seal during its installation.
Procedure
To install the pressure transmitter for level, proceed as follows:
1. Attach the seal to the container's mating flange.
Ensure that the seal is centrally positioned and that it does not restrict the movement of the
flange's seal diaphragm in any way. Otherwise, the seal of the process connection is not
guaranteed to be tight.
2. Screw on the pressure transmitter's flange.
3. Observe the installation position.

Mounting on the container

Mounting on open container
A line is not required when taking measurements in an open container since the negative side
is connected with the atmosphere.
Ensure that no dirt enters the open connection ports.
● Use, for example, threaded plug with vent valve 7MF4997-1CP.
