2.1 Warnings and Caution Notices

Warning

!

WARNING: NOT EXPLOSION PROOF! 

Installation of this instrument in an area requiring devices rated as 

intrinsically safe is not recommended.

!

Caution

CAUTION: Some ranges require clean, non-corrosive pressure 

media. See “Media Compatibility” in Section 4, Specifications. This 

instrument is not designed for oxygen use.

!

Caution

CAUTION: Avoid excessive overpressure to the sensor! 

Externally mounted relief valves to provide overpressure protection 

are available from Mensor as optional devices.

!

Caution

CAUTION: Use of a power supply other than the one provided by 

Mensor will invalidate the warranty.

CAUTION: ESD PROTECTION REQUIRED. The proper use of 

grounded work surfaces and personal wrist straps are required 

when coming into contact with exposed circuits (printed circuit 

boards) to prevent static discharge to sensitive electronic 

components.
