Note
If you are replacing the o-rings, be careful not to scratch the o-ring grooves or the surface of the
isolating diaphragm when removing the damaged o-rings.

Note
If you replaced the PTFE sensor module o-rings, re-torque the flange bolts after installation to
compensate for cold flow.
Note
For Range 1 transmitters: after replacing o-rings and re-installing the process flange, expose the
transmitter to a temperature of 185 °F (85 °C) for two hours. Then re-tighten the flange bolts in
a cross pattern, and again expose the transmitter to a temperature of 185 °F (85 °C) for two
hours before calibration.

Install the process connection. Possible options include:
Coplanar Process Flange:
–
Hold the process flange in place by installing the two alignment screws to
finger tightness (screws are not pressure retaining). Do not overtighten as this
will affect module-to-flange alignment.
–
Install the four 1.75-in. flange bolts by finger tightening them to the flange.
–
Hold the process flange in place by installing the two alignment screws to
finger tightness (screws are not pressure retaining). Do not overtighten as this
will affect module-to-flange alignment.
–
Hold the flange adapters and adapter o-rings in place while installing (in the
desired of the four possible process connection spacing configurations) using
four 2.88-inch bolts to mount securely to the coplanar flange. For gage
pressure configurations, use two 2.88-inch bolts and two 1.75-inch bolts
Manifold:
–
Contact the manifold manufacturer for the appropriate bolts and procedures.
Tighten the bolts to the initial torque value using a crossed pattern. See
page 6-76
for appropriate torque values.
Using same cross pattern, tighten bolts to final torque values seen in
page
6-76.
