Required tool: Open-ended spanner (spanner width 27), screwdriver

CAUTION!

Prior to commissioning, the pressure transmitter must be subjected to a visual inspection.

Leaking fluid is indicative of damage.

Only use the pressure transmitter if it is in perfect condition with respect to safety.

Making the mechanical connection

For model A-10 with parallel thread, the sealing ring is included in the delivery.

During mounting, make sure that the sealing faces at the pressure transmitter

and the measuring point are clean and undamaged.

Only ever screw in, or unscrew, the instrument via the spanner-flats and to

the prescribed torque using an appropriate tool. The correct torque depends

on the dimensions of the pressure connection and the gasket used (form/

material). When screwing in or unscrewing the pressure transmitter, do not

use the housing for purchase.

When screwing in, do not cross the threads.
