− possible mechanical impacts, excessive shocks and vibration; − excessive temperature fluctuation; − water vapour condensation, dusting, icing. Changes made to the manufacturing of products may be introduced before the paper version of the manual is updated. The up-to-date manuals are available on the manufacturer’s website: www.aplisens.com.
The manual contains data, tips and general recommendations for safe installation and operation of the transmitters, as well as troubleshooting in case of possible failure. The manual does not cover explosion protection issues. Data of the PC-29A, PC-29B transmitters in intrinsically safe version acc. to IECEx and ATEX included...
The guarantee shall be repealed if the device is used against its intended use, failure to comply with user’s manual or interference with the structure of the device. IDENTIFICATION 5.1. Manufacturer’s address APLISENS S.A. 03-192 Warsaw Morelowa 7 St. Poland 5.2.
EN.IO.PC.29.A.B INSTALLATION 6.1. General recommendations In the case of the gaseous medium, it is recommended to install the transmitters above the measurement point so that the condensate may flow to the place where the measured pressure is taken, whereas in the case of the liquid medium or vapour, it should be installed below the place where the pressure is taken.
Internal electrical switching terminals are suitable for conductors with the cross-section from 0,5 to 2,5 mm 7.1.5. Cabling specification Aplisens S.A. recommends using two-wire screened twisted pair cable. The outer diameter of the cable shell from 8 to 10 mm (for cable gland PG-11) is recommended. 7.1.6. Equipotential bonding When using a cable in the screen, connect the screen on one side at the transmitters power supply point.

EN.IO.PC.29.A.B START-UP The base range and the basic unit can be read out from the transmitter’s nameplate (➔ Transmitter identification). Use the transmitter within the allowable pressure limits. Risk of injury due to component breakage after exceeding the maximum permitted operating pressure. MAINTENANCE 9.1.
EN.IO.PC.29.A.B 9.7. Returns In the following cases, the transmitter should be returned directly to the manufacturer: need for repair; need for factory calibration; replacement of improperly selected/shipped transmitter. 10. SCRAPPING, DISPOSAL Worn or damaged devices shall be scrapped in accordance with WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU) on waste electrical and electronic equipment or returned to the manufacturer.
