P26 Instruction Manual

2 Safety precautions
2.1 Appropriate use
The P26 is used to measure pressure, volumetric flow, mass flow and flow rate.
Always observe the operating requirements—particularly the permissible supply voltage—
indicated on the rating plate and in the “Technical data” section of this manual.
The instrument may only be handled as indicated in this manual. Modifications to the
instrument are prohibited. The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by improper use
or failure to follow these instructions. Violations of this type render all warranty claims null and
void.
2.2 Shipping, assembly, electrical connections and startup
Do not close the pressure inlets during shipping. Changes in barometric pressure may
damage devices with low measuring ranges.
Assembly and the electrical connections should only be handled by professionals. They should
be given proper training and be authorised by the operator of the facility.
The instrument may only be operated by appropriately trained individuals who have been
authorized by the operator of the facility.
Do not carry out a function test with compressed or breathable air. This would damage
instruments with low measuring ranges.
Measurement errors may occur if the instrument is not kept protected from sunlight.
Specific safety precautions are given in individual sections of this manual.
2.3 Troubleshooting, maintenance, repairs, disposal
The individual responsible for the electrical connections must be notified if the instrument is
damaged or if errors occur that cannot be corrected as indicated in Section 10.
This individual must take the instrument out of service until the error has been corrected and
ensure that it cannot be used unintentionally.
Always unplug the power cord before opening the instrument!
This instrument requires no maintenance.
Only the manufacturer may perform repairs that require the housing to be opened.
The electronic components of the instrument contain environmentally hazardous materials and
materials that can be reused. The instrument must therefore be sent to a recycling plant when
you no longer wish to use it. The environment codes of your particular country must be
complied with.
