Instructions
Foreword
The unit is manufactured, checked and supplied in
accordance with our published specification. When
installed and used in normal or prescribed applications,
with the lid in place and within the parameters set for
mechanical and electrical performance, will not cause
danger or hazard to life or limb.
Warning: Units must be selected and installed by
suitably
trained
accordance with appropriate codes of practice so
that the possibility of failure resulting in injury or
damage caused by misuse or misapplication is
avoided.
Warning:
before
instrument characteristics comply with process and
plant requirements
Warning: The users attention is drawn to the fact
that, when the unit is 'live' with respect to electrical or
pressure supplies, a hazard may exist if the unit is
opened or dismantled
Warning: Where any special conditions of the
product has been required as identified by the last 4
digits of the part number, follow the necessary safety
instructions for a correct installation.
If the equipment is likely to come into contact with
aggressive substances, suitable precautions should be
taken that prevent it from being adversely affected, thus
ensuring that the type of protection is not compromised.
Aggressive substances: e.g. acidic liquids or gases that
may
attack
may affect non-metallic materials. Suitable precautions:
e.g. regular checks as part of routine inspections or
establishing from the material's data sheet that it is
resistant to specific chemicals.
Allowed over range
Pressure exceeding the adjustable range can be allowed
up to the max pressure stated on nameplate. The voltage
and current limits for the microswitch must not be
exceeded. (see fig. 2 & 3). Transitory electrical over
ranges can have a destructive effect on the microswitch.
Ambient Temperature
The surface temperature of the instrument is influenced
by the process temperature, electrical working conditions,
installation and environmental. Special attention must be
taken to avoid exceeding the limits specified on the table
below (i.e. remote mounting, valves, siphons, diaphragm
seals. See Mounting).
