    Safety 2.1 General sources of hazards Pressure gauges are pressurized parts where failure can result in hazardous situations. The selection of pressure gauge should be made in accordance with the rules set out in EN 837-2. 2.2 Use in accordance with intended purpose The devices may only be used for the purpose intended by the manufacturer.
  • Page 5: Safety Equipment

    On the dial the manufacturer, measuring unit, accuracy class, note Silicone-free, note Oxygen-Service and the applied standard are visible. The device may have other labels and safety marks indicating special conditions of use:  Note on calibration  Note on the use of the manual, Note on the use of the vent plug. The operator must check the label, which is important for the use in potentially explosive atmospheres, at regular intervals to ensure that it remains legible.
  • Page 6 Process media Temperatures: Permissible max. medium temperature in the measuring system 90°C The process media temperature depends on the ignition temperature of the surrounding gas, vapors or dust, on the design of the device, especially the pressure change rate and the surface, as well as the ambient temperature and other external heat sources.

    6.1 Description of components 6.1.1 Scale with pointer The pressure gauge is equipped with a dial and pointer according to EN 837-1, nominal size 100 mm or 160 mm. 6.1.2 Instrument connection The instrument connection is located on the bottom (Model T5500-KF, T6500-KF) or eccentrically on the back (available on Model T5500-KF only) of the instrument.
  • Page 11: Requirements For The Installation Site

    It is recommended to perform the assembly / installation without an existing explosive atmosphere (e.g. ventilated room). 8.2 Requirements for the installation site Check the suitability of the device for the process media to be measured,  Design of the measuring range to the requirements of the measurement, ...
  • Page 12: Starting Up

    Please refer to type label for configuration of connections. 8.5 Starting up A prerequisite for starting up is the proper installation of all measuring lines. All connection must be laid in such a way that no mechanical forces can act on the device. Before starting up, the tightness of the pressure connection must be checked.
  • Page 13: Check On Function, And Recalibration

    9.1 Check on function, and recalibration Calibration For our devices we recommend a calibration interval of: Accuracy class ≤ 0.6 annual recalibration.  Accuracy class ≥ 1.0 recalibration at an interval of two years  Functional tests The exact test cycles must be adapted to the operating and ambient conditions. When various device components interact, the operating instructions of all other devices must also be observed.
