Safety Precautions
WARNING
• Instrument installed in the process is under
pressure. Never loosen or tighten the
process connector bolts as it may cause
dangerous spouting of process fluid.
• During draining condensate or venting gas
in transmitter pressure-detector section, take
appropriate care to avoid contact with the
skin, eyes or body, or inhalation of vapors, if
the accumulated process fluid may be toxic
or otherwise harmful.
Since draining condensate or bleeding
off gas gives the pressure measurement
disturbance, this should not be done when
the loop is in operation.
• If the accumulated process fluid may be
toxic or otherwise harmful, take appropriate
care to avoid contact with the body, or
inhalation of vapors even after dismounting
the instrument from process line for
maintenance.
IMPORTANT
• Supply air must be clean and dry.
- Supply air (pressurized) must not be
dewed event at −40°C.
- Air filter with 5µm (0.0002 inch) of filter
element maximum opening shall be
recommended.
- Oil filter should be provided to remove oil
in the supply air.
• Maximum supply air pressure of transmitter
without fixed pressure regulator (GAS or
NAS type) is 215 kPa. Should the pressure
exceed 215 kPa, it is possible to break the
pneumatic amplifier, bellows etc.
• When weling piping during construction, take
care not to allow welding currents to flow
through the transmitter.
• Do not step on this instrument after
installation.
• Applying a leakag-detecting fluid to the
instrument may damage the plastic parts
resulting from corrosion or cracking.
