3.1 General notes on installation
3.2 Installation specifications
INFORMATION!
Inspect the packaging carefully for damages or signs of rough handling. Report damage to the 
carrier and to the local office of the manufacturer.
INFORMATION!
Do a check of the packing list to make sure that you have all the elements given in the order.
INFORMATION!
Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order. 
Check for the correct supply voltage printed on the nameplate.
WARNING!
Install the device only when depressurised and without power!
DANGER!
For installation the respective regulations for explosion protection have to be fulfilled.
INFORMATION!
For installations outdoor and in damp areas, the following points must be observed:
•
To ensure that no moisture can get into the connector, the device should be connected 
electrically immediately after installation. Otherwise a moisture admission has to be 
prevented e.g. by using a suitable protection cap.
•
Select an installation if possible, where a mounting position allows draining of spray and 
condensate. Sealing surfaces should not be submerged!
•
When using devices with cable glands or output, the cable should be looped facing down so 
that any liquid that collects on the cable can drip off.
•
Install the device so it is protected from direct sunlight. In the worst case scenario, the 
permissible operating temperature will be exceeded in the presence of direct sunlight. This 
can negatively affect or damage the functionality of the device. In addition, it can lead to 
temporary measuring errors if the internal pressure of the device increases due to the 
sunlight.
•
When installing outside where the risk of lightning or overvoltage may exist and damage the 
device, we recommend installing suitable overvoltage protection between the supply device 
or control cabinet and the device.
