Ventilation electronics housing

Atmospheric pressure compensation (with relative pressure meas-

uring ranges)

The process assembly of instruments with Second Line of Defense

(gastight leadthrough) is completely encapsulated. An absolute pres-

sure measuring cell is used so that no ventilation is required.

With relative pressure measuring ranges, the ambient pressure is

detected and compensated by a reference sensor in the electronics.

The filter element is mounted into the electronics housing. It has the

following functions:

Instruments with absolute pressure have a blind plug mounted

instead of the filter element.

4.3 Process pressure measurement

Keep the following in mind when setting up the measuring system:

Mount the instrument above the measuring point

Possible condensation can then drain off into the process line.
