General

Study these installation instructions carefully before
proceeding.
Failure to observe the warnings and instructions may cause a
malfunction or personal hazard. Before installing the
transmitter, check whether the device design meets the
requirements of the measuring point from a measurement
technology and safety point of view.
This applies in respect of the:
• Explosion protection certification
• Measuring range
• Gauge pressure stability
• Temperature (Ambient and Process)
• Operating voltage and current
The suitability of the materials must be checked as regards
their resistance to the media. This applies in respect of the:
• Process connection, isolating diaphragm, etc.
In addition, the relevant directives, regulations, standards, and
accident prevention regulations must be observed.
Measurement accuracy is largely dependent on correct
installation of the pressure transmitter and, if applicable, the
associated measuring pipe(s). As far as possible, the measuring
setup should be free from critical ambient conditions such as
large variations in temperature, vibrations, or shocks.
IMPORTANT
If unfavorable ambient conditions cannot be avoided for
reasons relating to building structure, measurement
technology, or other issues, the measurement quality may be
affected. If a remote seal with capillary tube is installed on
the transmitter, the additional operating instructions for
remote seals and the related data sheets must be observed.
