4. Design and function
4.1 Description
The prevailing pressure is measured at the sensor element through the deformation of a diaphragm.
By supplying power, this deformation of the diaphragm is converted into an electrical signal. The output
signal from the pressure transmitter is amplified and standardised.
4.2 Scope of delivery
Cross-check the scope of delivery with the delivery note.
5. Transport, packaging and storage
5.1 Transport
Check the pressure transmitter for any damage that may have been caused during transportation.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
5.2 Packaging
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport
(e.g. change in installation site, sending for repair).
5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature: See chapter 3.6 "Operating conditions"
WARNING!
Before storing the pressure transmitter (following operation), remove any residual media.
This is of particular importance if the medium is hazardous to health, e.g. caustic, toxic,
carcinogenic, radioactive, etc..
