WARNING!
■
Select the appropriate transducer with regard to scale range, performance and specific
measurement conditions prior to installing and starting the instrument.
■
Consider the relevant national regulations (e.g.: EN/IEC 60079-14) and observe the applicable
standards and directives for special applications (e.g. with dangerous media such as
acetylene, flammable gases or liquids and toxic gases or liquids and with compressors).
Non-observance can result in serious injury and/or damage to equipment.
■
Open pressure connections only after the system is without pressure!
■
Please make sure that the transducer is only used within the overload threshold limit all the
time!
■
Observe the ambient and working conditions outlined in section 7 „Technical data”.
■
Ensure that the transducer is only operated in accordance with the provisions i.e. as described
in the following instructions.
■
Do not interfere with or change the transducer in any other way than described in these
operating instructions.
■
Remove the pressure transducer from service and mark it to prevent it from being used again
accidentally, if it becomes damaged or unsafe for operation
■
Take precautions with regard to remaining media in removed pressure transducers.
Remaining media in the pressure port may be hazardous or toxic!
■
Have repairs performed by the manufacturer only.
■
The operator is responsible for the material compatibility as well as correct handling, operation
and maintenance.
Information about material consistency against corrosion and diffusion can be found in our WIKA-Handbook,
"Pressure and Temperature Measurement".
WARNING!
For transducer with Ex-/FM-marking: Consider the relevant safety instructions as well as
the respective country specific regulations for installation and operation in hazardous areas
(e.g.: IEC 60079-14, NEC). If you do not observe these stipulations, serious injuries and/or
damage may occur.
