(e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled or heated vessels. Make sure that the degree of contamination specified in chapter " Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions. Ventilation and pressure Ventilation and pressure compensation for VEGABAR 39 are provided compensation by an air-permeable, moisture-blocking filter element. Note: In case of horizontal mounting, turn the housing so that the filter ele- ment points downward after the instrument is installed. This provides better protection against buildup.
Mount the instrument above the measuring point Possible condensation can then drain off into the process line.

• Time value Offset correction The installation position of the device can shift the measured value minimally (offset). The offset correction compensates this measured value shift. The measured value that should currently be displayed is entered (manual offset correction). With relative pressure transmitters, an automatic offset to 0.0000 bar can alternatively be carried out. Note: With automatic offset correction, the current measured value must not be influenced by product coverage or static pressure. VEGABAR 39 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA...
