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

Check the diaphragm for any visible damage, since this is a safety-relevant component.
■
Leaking fluid is indicative of damage.
■
Only use the pressure transmitter if it is in perfect condition with respect to safety.

Required tool: Open-ended spanner (spanner width 27 or 41), screwdriver
■
Remove the protection cap not until shortly before installation. During
installation, ensure that the diaphragm is not damaged (with model

The sealing faces at the instrument have to be undamaged and clean.
■
Only ever screw in, or unscrew, the instrument via the spanner flats.
Never use the case as a working surface.

The correct torque depends on the dimensions of the pressure connec-
tion and the gasket used (form/material).
