4. Design and function
4.1 Code designation
The prevailing pressure is measured at the sensor element through the deformation of a diaphragm. By supplying
power, this deformation of the diaphragm is converted into an electrical signal. The output signal from the pressure
transmitter is amplified and standardised. The output signal is proportional to the measured pressure.
4.2 Scope of delivery
■
Fully assembled pressure transmitter
■
In order to protect the diaphragms of flush process connections, they are provided with a special protection cap.
Cross-check scope of delivery with delivery note.
5. Transport, packaging and storage
5.1 Transport
Check the instrument for any damage that may have been caused by transport.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
Fit the protective cap before transporting the instrument in order to protect the process connection from damage.
5.2 Packaging
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change in installation site, sending for
repair).
5.3 Storage
Fit the protective cap before storing the instrument in order to protect the process connection from damage.
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
■
Storage temperature: -20 ... +80 °C [-4 ... +176°F]
■
Humidity: 35 ... 85 % relative humidity (no condensation)
