1.5 Correct use
The purpose of the pressure transducer is to measure pressure in plastic melt as part
of a larger overall system. The PT can be used in media temperatures up to 400°C.
If the PT is used in other applications, the safety and accident prevention regulations
specific to that application must be followed.
When using the PT as a safety component in accordance with the EC Machine
Directive, Annex IIc, the equipment manufacturer must take any necessary
precautions to ensure that malfunctions of the PT cannot cause damage or injury.
1.6 User’s obligations
The operator or owner of the larger overall system, e.g. a machine, is responsible for
following the safety and accident prevention regulations that apply to the specific
application.
2. Notes on safety
The operator or owner of the larger overall system is responsible for

Toxic hazard!
The PT contains a small amount (7 mm³) of mercury (Hg) as its transmis-
sion medium. If the diaphragm is damaged, mercury may escape.
Never transport or store the PT without the protective shell bolted in
place. Remove the shell shortly before installation.
If mercury is inhaled or swallowed, seek medical attention immediately!
Mercury is hazardous waste and must be disposed of in accordance with
applicable laws. DYNISCO will accept defective PTs. If mercury escapes,
use airtight packaging!
