4.4 Installation instructions for devices with diaphragm seals (FMD78)
• The diaphragm seal, together with the pressure transmitter, forms a closed, calibrated
system, which is filled through openings in the diaphragm seal and in the measurement
system of the pressure transmitter. These openings are sealed and must not be opened.
• Do not remove the protection of the process isolating diaphragm protection until shortly
before installation.
• When using a mounting bracket, sufficient strain relief must be ensured for the capillaries in
order to prevent the capillary bending down (bending radius  100 mm).
• Please note that the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid columns in the capillaries can cause
zero point shift. The zero point shift can be corrected.  See Page 20, 4.2.1 "Position of
operating elements", Page 21, Section 4.2.2 "Function of the operating elements" or Page 30,
Section 5.1 "Position adjustment".
• Please note the application limits of the diaphragm seal filling oil as detailed in the Technical
Information for Deltabar S TI00382P, Section "Planning instructions for diaphragm seal
systems" or at "www.endress.com/applicator".
In order to obtain more precise measurement results and to avoid a defect in the device, mount
the capillaries as follows:
• vibration-free (in order to avoid additional pressure fluctuations)
• not in the vicinity of heating or cooling lines
• insulate if the ambient temperature is below ore above the reference temperature
• with a bending radius of  100 mm.
• The ambient temperature and length of both capillaries should be the same when using
two-sided diaphragm seal systems.
• Two diaphragm seals which are the same (e.g. with regard to diameter, material, etc.) should
always be used for the negative and positive side (standard delivery).
