Operating Instructions
General
These operating instructions refer to installation, commissioning, servicing and adjustment.
Statutory regulations, valid standards, additional technical details in the relevant data sheet, details
of the type plate and any additional certificates are to be observed along with these operating
instructions.
Safety instructions
Installation, operation and maintenance of the instrument may be executed by authorized
personnel, only, using suitable equipment.
Warning: If the instrument is used incorrectly it is possible that serious injuries or damage can
occur!
Pressure transmitters that are mechanically defective can cause injuries or give rise to process
faults. Suitable precautions should be taken to avoid this.

CE marking
The CE marking on the instruments certifies compliance with valid EU directives for bringing
products to market within the European Union. The following directives are met:
EMC directives EMC 2004/108/EC
Ex directive ATEX 94/9/EC
Ex approval
Electrical equipment in hazardous areas should only be installed and commissioned by competent
personnel. Modifications to devices and connections destroy the operating safety, the ex-proofing
and the guarantee.

Mounting and operating
Before mounting the instrument ensure that pressure range, overpressure resistance, media
compatibility, thermostability and pressure port are suitable for the process at hand.
Conduct process installation before electrical installation.
To avoid soiling and damage remove protective cap or wrapping in front of the separating
diaphragm before mounting.
Do not touch the flush mounted separating diaphragm, as there is a danger of deformation at
measuring ranges to 10 bar / 150 psi. Instrument zero point and measuring characteristics could
also be affected.
Secure the level sensor with the sensor lead. Fit the sensor so that there are no forces acting on
the gland nut that is situated between sensor and lead. Be sure the sensor is not subjected to any
stresses when installed in tanks and vessels. The sensor should only be used when fitted in a
stem.
Check that the gasket in the cable gland nut for the electrical connection is correctly fitted before
immersing the sensor in product or other liquid.
The level sensor is unsuitable for use with products that crystallize.
Submersible level sensors monitor the hydrostatic level in tanks and vessels. The measured
value is a function of the density of the product being monitored (density of water = 1).
Ventilation
Level sensors are ventilated through the sensor lead. The terminal box for the lead must be in a
dry and well aired area (normal atmosphere pressure, !!Attention!! Extra ventilation which might
cause different pressure than atmosphere pressure will lead to wrong values of levels). To
maintain good ventilation of sensor be sure that the power cable for the level sensor is not bent or
damaged at any point.
Electrical connections
Wire up the instrument with power switched off.
The instrument can only be protected against electromagnetic interference (EMC) if the
conditions for screening, earthing, wiring and potential isolation are met during installation.
▪ The mounting position should be taken into consideration when checking the zero output.
Standard transmitters are adjusted at the factory for vertical mounting. Changes to the mounting
position can cause zero shifts at pressure ranges < 2 bar. These drifts can be corrected by
adjustment on site.
Process and ambient temperatures can cause zero displacements at the pressure transmitter
with some system designs. We can supply you with an error analysis.
When the instrument is opened any contact with the electrical connections can affect the signals.
This situation can be avoided by switching off the supply voltage or by disconnecting the signal
circuit.
The instrument requires no maintenance.
