devices with diaphragm seals

Installation

• A position-dependent zero point shift (when the vessel is empty the measured value does not
display zero) can be corrected
• Diaphragm seals also shift the zero point, depending on the installation position
• The use of shutoff devices and/or water pocket pipes is recommended for mounting
• The orientation depends on the measuring application
• The standard devices (without diaphragm seals) are mounted according to the same guidelines as
pressure gauges (DIN EN837-2)
• To ensure optimal readability of the local display, adjust the housing and local display
• Endress+Hauser offers a mounting bracket to mount the device on pipes or walls
• Use flushing rings for flanges, flange seals and pancake seals if buildup or clogging can be
expected at the process membrane
• The flushing ring is clamped between the process connection and the flange, flange seal or
pancake seal
• Material buildup in front of the process membrane is flushed away and the pressure chamber is
vented via the two lateral flushing holes
• When measuring in media containing solids (e.g. dirty liquids), installing separators and drain
valves is useful for capturing and removing sediment
• Using a valve manifold allows for easy commissioning, installation and maintenance without
interrupting the process
• When mounting the device, establishing the electrical connection and during operation: prevent
the penetration of moisture into the housing
• Point the cable and plug downwards as much as possible to prevent moisture from entering (e.g.
rainwater or condensation)
General information
A diaphragm seal and the transmitter together form a closed, calibrated system that has been filled
through openings in the diaphragm seal and in the transmitter' s measurement system. These
openings are sealed and must not be opened.
In the case of devices with diaphragm seals and capillaries, the zero point shift caused by the
hydrostatic pressure of the filling fluid column in the capillaries must be taken into account when
selecting the measuring cell. Perform zero point adjustment if necessary. If a measuring cell with a
small measuring range is selected, a position adjustment can cause the sensor to go over range
(position adjustment due to zero point offset, caused by the orientation of the liquid column of the
fill fluid).
For devices with a capillary, use a suitable bracket (mounting bracket) for mounting.
When mounting, sufficient strain relief must be provided for the capillary to prevent the capillary
from bending (capillary bending radius ≥ 100 mm (3.94 in)).
Mount the capillary so that it is vibration-free (in order to avoid additional pressure fluctuations).
Do not mount capillaries in the vicinity of heating or cooling lines and protect them against direct
sunlight.
More detailed installation instructions are provided in the Applicator
Vacuum applications
In vacuum applications, ideally use pressure transmitters with a ceramic measuring membrane (oil-
free).
In vacuum applications, mount the pressure transmitter below the diaphragm seal. This prevents
additional vacuum loading of the diaphragm seal caused by the presence of fill fluid in the capillary.
If the pressure transmitter is mounted above the diaphragm seal, do not exceed the maximum height
difference h1. The height difference h1 is shown in the Applicator
