3. Installation instructions

Installation

Nominal position acc. EN 873-3 / 9.6.6 figure 7: 0° or 90°
Pressure connector bottom or rearside

Permissible vibration load at the mounting point

The instrument should always be installed in locations free of vibration.
If necessary, it is possible to isolate the instrument from the mounting

point by installing a flexible connection line between the measuring

point and the pressure gauge and mounting the instrument on a

suitable bracket.
If this is not possible, the following limit values must not be exceeded:

Frequency range 10 … 150 Hz

Accelaration

< 0.5 g (5.0 m/s

)

Test connector

At certain use cases (e.g. steam vessels) isolating devices have to

have a test connector, so that the instrument can be checked without

dismounting.

Mounting provisions

If the line for the pressure gauge is not rigid enough for vibration-free

installation, fasten the instrument using appropriate fastening elements for

wall and / or pipe mounting, and, if necessary, by means of a capillary line.

Measuring system damping

If it is not possible to avoid vibration by means of appropriate mounting,

use pressure gauges with liquid filling.
