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

following functions:

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.
