See the product & connection drawing for any approvals & ratings for your unit, if applicable. The following are typical examples.
INTENDED USE AND MISUSE
The instrument is designed for use with materials compatible with Inconel X-750. If fluids that are not compatible are used, accelerated
corrosion rates are likely to be seen. This will result in premature failure of the diaphragm.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
All Viatran transmitters have been designed to function free from routine or scheduled maintenance. Simple cleaning of the electrical
connector, pressure port threads and pressure cavity on an as needed basis will provide many years of satisfactory performance.
Protecting the product from continued exposure to moisture or fluids at the electrical connection, breather area (model dependent) will
eliminate premature internal failure of the product. Generally any time the product is removed from service the connector and pressure
port threads should be cleaned and the pressure cavity flushed with a 316SS and/or O-Ring (material model dependent) compatible
cleaner to prevent media buildup. During the cleaning process only a soft, lint-free cloth is recommended. Never use a coarse or stiff
bristle brush to clean media from the diaphragm surface.
It is suggested that the calibration be verified on a usage dependent schedule. If the product is in continuous service 7 days a week, then
calibration verification may be necessary every 6 to 8 months. If the product is in a lab test environment a more lenient verification
schedule would be appropriate. In all instances the performance of the product will depend on the individual application or process in
which it is installed. More continued usage would require a shorter period between calibration verification and product maintenance.
If a product is perceived to be exhibiting problems, it can be returned to Viatran for analysis and/or repair. It is suggested that only
Viatran personnel attempt repair of the product. Any damage resulting from customer disassembly would result in a loss of coverage
under the warranty policy. All Viatran products are able to be repaired at minimal cost if simple cleaning and precautions are taken in the
handling and application of the product. Older products returned for repair are updated to current specifications unless the repair cost
would outweigh the cost of a new replacement model. Products returned for repair should include information on the person to contact
for repair quote approval, the individual to contact if Viatran's technical staff requires additional information during analysis, and a brief
description of the problem associated with the product's failure.
