2.1 Mounting instructions
The pressure transmitter can be mounted in
any position. Cable entries must point down-
ward to avoid moisture ingress. For this pur-
pose, the housing can be rotated by 330° in
relation to the mounting part.
An appropriate seal must be used for mount-
ing. This seal is either supplied with the pres-
sure transmitter or must be provided by the
customer.
2.2 Compensation of the atmos-
pheric pressure
On instruments for gauge pressure meas-
urement, the atmospheric pressure is com-
pensated via the breather facility integrated
in the housing.
Pressure transmitter with housing
- via an integrated breather facility (PTFE
insert 1) ), protection IP 66
- via the capillaries of a special cable con-
nected to the terminals, protection IP 67
Pressure transmitter with direct cable
outlet
- via the capillaries of the connected special
cable, protection IP 68
We recommend leading the special cable into
the external connection housing VEGABOX
01 (accessory) and carrying out the pres-
sure compensation via the integrated
breather facility there.
External connection housing
Observe the following instructions:
- as a rule, there must be the same atmos-
pheric pressure on the breather facility as
on the vessel
- the pressure compensation must be done
in a dry environment
- with vertical wall mounting, cable entries
must point downward to avoid moisture
ingress and buildup on the breather facility.
