IMPORTANT
• Confirm that there is no gap between the ring
and the process-detector section after they are
mounted on the process flange. A gap can lead to
a sudden, explosive release of process fluids.
• When mounting or removing the ring, take care not
to tilt the pressure detector downward as the ring
can slip off and cause injury.
• When re-mounting the ring, use the new spiral
gasket as shown in below table.

3.5 Affixing the Teflon Film
IMPORTANT
The FEP Teflon option includes a teflon film and
fluorinated oil. Before mounting the transmitter to the
process flange, affix the teflon film as follows:
1) Position the diaphragm seal so that the diaphragm
is in an upward position.
2) Pour the fluorinated oil on the diaphragm and
gasket area covering it completely and evenly. Be
careful not to scratch the diaphragm or change the
its shape.
3) Affix the teflon film over the diaphragm and gasket
area.
4) Next, carefully inspect the cover and try to identify
any entrapped air between the diaphragm and
the teflon film. The air must be removed to ensure
optimum performance. If air pockets are present,
use your fingers to remove the air by starting at the
center of the diaphragm and work your way out.
5) Position the gasket on the Teflon film.
6) Mount the transmitter onto the process flange.
