Installation conditions

• No moisture may enter the housing when installing or operating the device, or when
establishing the electrical connection.
• Do not clean or touch process isolating diaphragms with hard and/or pointed objects.
• Do not remove the protector on the process isolating diaphragm until just before
installation.
• Always firmly tighten the cable entry.
• Point the cable and connector downwards where possible to prevent moisture from
entering (e.g. rain or condensation water).
• Protect the housing from impact
• The following instruction applies for devices with a gauge pressure sensor and M12 plug
or valve plug:
NOTICE
If a heated device is cooled during the cleaning process (e.g. by cold water), a vacuum
develops for a short time, whereby moisture can penetrate the sensor through the
pressure compensation element (1).
Device could be destroyed!
‣
In this case, mount the device with the pressure compensation element (1) pointing
diagonally downwards where possible or to the side.

Influence of the installation position

Any orientation is possible. However, the orientation may cause a zero point shift i.e. the
measured value does not show zero when the vessel is empty or partially full.
