General information for oxygen use
DANGER
Danger of death from explosion
through improper use of devices in-
tended for use with oxygen
- The following points must be observed
in order to ensure safe handling:
- Make sure that a special version of your device has
been ordered for use with oxygen and that the expected
device has been delivered. The easiest way for you to
verify this is by checking the type plate (see Fig. 1 re-
garding this). If your order code ends with the digits
"007", then your device is suitable for oxygen applica-
tions.
- When it is delivered, the device is packaged in a plastic
bag to protect it from contamination. Take note of the
advice sticker with the text "Device for oxygen; unpack
immediately before installation"! Also note that contact
with skin should be avoided when unpacking and in-
stalling the device so as to avoid leaving grease resi-
dues on the device.
- The relevant provisions concerning explosion protection
must be met during installation. Also check whether ap-
proval as intrinsically safe equipment is required in addi-
tion to suitability for oxygen. (This is not the case for the
device as supplied!)
- Please note that the entire system must comply with the
requirements of the BAM (German Federal Institute for
Materials Research and Testing, DIN 19247).
- Pressure transmitters designed for use without seals
are recommended for oxygen applications > 25 bar.
- Pressure transmitters with FKM (Vi 567) sealing rings:
Maximum permitted values: 25 bar / 150° C
(BAM approval).
Please treat this highly sensitive electronic measuring
instrument carefully, both when packed and when un-
packed!
No modifications or alterations may be made to the
device.
Do not throw or drop the device!
Only remove the packaging and, if applicable, the
protective cap from the device shortly before its installa-
tion, so as to avoid damaging the diaphragm. Be sure to
retain the supplied protective cap!
Fit the protective cap back over the diaphragm immedi-
ately after dismounting the device.
Treat the unprotected diaphragm with extreme care; it
can be damaged very easily.
Do not apply any force to install the device so as to
avoid damaging the device and the system!
When installing outdoors or in humid environments, the
following points should be noted:
- The device should be electrically connected immediate-
ly after installation to ensure that no moisture is able to
penetrate into the plug connector, if this is not possible,
the ingress of moisture must be prevented by using a
suitable protective cap. (The protection class specified
in the data sheet applies to the connected device.)
- Select an installation position that allows splashed water
and condensation to drain away. Ensure that sealing
surfaces are not exposed to standing liquid!
- Install the device such that it is protected from direct
sunlight. In the worst case, direct sunlight may result in
the maximum permissible operating temperature being
exceeded, which can then damage the device or affect
its ability to function correctly. If the internal pressure in
the device rises, this could also cause temporary meas-
urement errors.
Take care that the pressure connector is not subjected
to any mechanical stresses higher than that permitted,
since this could cause the characteristic to shift or result
in damage. This applies especially to very small pres-
sure ranges, as well as to devices with a pressure con-
nector made of plastic.
In the case of hydraulic systems, orient the device such
that the pressure connector faces upwards (for venting).
Provide a cooling section when using the device in
steam lines.
If there is a risk that a device installed outdoors might
be damaged by lightning strike or overvoltage, we rec-
ommend the provision of overvoltage protection be-
tween the power supply unit or control cabinet and the
device.
If the device is installed with the pressure connector
facing upwards, make sure that no liquid runs down the
housing. This could result in moisture and dirt blocking
the gauge reference in the housing and cause malfunc-
tions. If necessary, remove any dust and dirt from the
edge of the screw joint of the electrical connector.
3.2 General installation instructions
- Carefully remove the device from its packaging and
dispose of the packaging properly.
- Then proceed as described in the following installation
instructions.
3.3 Installation steps for internal thread G1/8"
- Use a suitable seal for sealing, e. g. Teflon strip, flat
gasket or O-ring, on the screwed end of the counterpart.
- Ensure that the surface of the taking part is perfectly
smooth and clean.
- Tighten the counterpart with a wrench (max. torque
3 Nm).
3.4 Installation steps for internal thread M5
- For sealing use an O-ring that fits properly into the
groove. (O-ring is not included in the scope of delivery)
- Ensure that the surface of the counterpart is perfectly
smooth and clean.
- Screw the counterpart (e.g. screw connection, quick
coupling) by hand into the pressure switch.
- Tighten the counterpart with a wrench (max. torque
1 Nm).

7. Decommissioning
WARNUNG
Danger of injury from media escap-
ing under pressure
- Dismount in an orderly fashion when
the machine is depressurized and the
power supply has been switched off.
- Check whether the medium needs to
be drained before dismounting!
WARNUNG
Danger of injury from the measured
medium
- Depending on the measured medi-
um, suitable precautions should be
taken, e.g. protective gloves, goggles.
8. Maintenance
The device is, in principle, maintenance free. If necessary,
the housing of the device may be cleaned with a damp cloth
and a non-aggressive cleaning solution while it is switched
off.
With certain media may, however, deposits or contamination
may accumulate on the diaphragm. The specification of
appropriate maintenance intervals for inspection is recom-
mended in this case. Once the device has been properly
decommissioned, the diaphragm can normally be cleaned
with a non-aggressive cleaning solution and a soft brush or
sponge. Care should be taken while doing so. If the dia-
phragm is covered in lime scale, decalcification by BD
SENSORS is recommended. See the Servicing/Repair
section with regard to this.
Incorrect cleaning can result in irreparable damage to
the measuring cell. For this reason, you should never
use sharp objects or compressed air to clean the dia-
phragm.
9. Servicing/Repair
9.1 Recalibration
It is possible that the offset value or the scaling value may
shift during the lifetime of the device. This is indicated by a
deviation in the output signal value with reference to the set
measurement range start or end values respectively. If either
of these two phenomena should occur after a prolonged
period of use, recalibration is recommended in order to
ensure a continued high level of accuracy.
9.2 Return
Whenever the device is returned, no matter whether for
recalibration, decalcification, modification or repair, it must be
carefully cleaned and packed such that there is no risk of
breakage. The device must be accompanied by a notice of
return giving a detailed description of the fault. If your device
has come into contact with pollutants, then a notice of
decontamination will also be needed. You can find the
relevant templates on our website at
www.bdsensors.de
.
Should you send in your device without a notice of decon-
tamination and doubts with regard to the medium used
should arise in our service department, repair work will
commence only once an appropriate notice has been re-
ceived.
CAUTION
Danger of injury from pollutants
- If the device has come into contact with
pollutants, wear suitable protective cloth-
ing, e.g. gloves, goggles, when cleaning
it.
10. Disposal
The device must be disposed of in accord-
ance with European Directives 2002/96/EC
and 2003/108/EC (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment). Waste electrical
products may not be disposed of with
household waste!
Depending on the medium used, residues
on the device may constitute a hazard to
the environment. You should therefore take
appropriate precautions if necessary and
dispose of the device properly.
11. Guarantee Conditions
The guarantee conditions are subject to the statutory warran-
ty period of 24 months, starting from the date of dispatch. No
warranty claims will be accepted if the device has been used
