2.3 Operator’s responsibility Safety instructions for proper operation of the device must be respected. They are to be provided by the operator for use by the respective personnel for installation, servicing, inspection and operation. Risks from electrical energy and from the released energy of the medium, from escaping media and from improper connection of the device must be eliminated.
The documentation has been filed with TÜV-Nord-Cert NB 0044 (see declaration of conformity). Labeling: 3.2 F5503 I#### and F5503-HP I#### with inductive proximity switches SJ2-N Area of use: Explosion risk areas Zone 1 and 2, and 21 and 22, risk from gases and dry dust.
Warning! With gaseous media, the device temperature may increase due to compression heat. In such cases, the rate of the pressure change must be regulated or the permitted temperature of the measuring medium reduced. Note: For a change in differential pressure between 10 % and 90 % of the measuring range and a pulse frequency of <0.06 Hz, the temperature increase is <10 K.
The label with the marking for explosion risk areas is located on the outside of the housing. Device without switching contacts: ###F5503####ATEX Device with integrated inductive proximity switch: ###F5503#### I####ATEX Device without switching contacts: ###F5503-HP####ATEX Device with integrated inductive proximity switch:...
Thus both diaphragms are protected against excess deflection and risks of rupturing. The model F5503-HP is designed for higher static pressure than the F5503 with stronger pressure chambers and mounting parts.
7.2 Transport inspection The delivery must be checked for completeness and damage during transport. In the event of damage during transport, the delivery must not be accepted, or only accepted subject to reservation of the scope of the damage being recorded and, if necessary, a complaint initiated.
8.3.2 Electrical connection Take note of the electrical data in the EU design type test certification and the locally-applicable regulations and guidelines for installing and operating electrical plant in explosion risk areas (e.g. EN 60079-14, EN 60079-17 etc.). Connection to be undertaken by authorized and qualified specialist staff only. ...
8.4.2 Setting the switch point An adjustable lock is fitted in the front panel of the pressure gauge. Using the removable adjustment key, the contacts mounted on the target value indicators can be set to any point on the range covered by the scale. For reasons relating to accuracy of switching and the lifetime of mechanical measurement systems, the switch points should be positioned between 10% and 90% of the range.
10 Faults 10.1 Safety Defective or faulty pressure gauges put the operational safety and process safety of the plant at risk, and can lead to a risk or injury to persons, the environment or the plant. 10.2 Conduct in the event of faults All defective of faulty devices must be taken out of service.
12.4 Data sheet for differential pressure gauge F5503/F5503-HP Detailed data sheet is available from supplier’s website (see 1.6 Manufacturer’s address, customer services) This Table refers to specific documents: Model Description Document F5503 Stainless steel differential pressure gauge model F5503 G1.F5503...
