Installation

2.1 Preparation

• Check the membrane of visual transport damage.
• Read and follow the safety instructions and the operating instructions, before handling with the device !

2.2 Mounting in the vessel

• Weld the flange socket (as a option) vertical (Flange is horizontal) in the silo top.
• Position the pressure detector (Flange is horizontal) with the gasket at the provided flange or flange socket and fix it with 4 washers and screws M8.

2.3 Electrical connection
Circuit diagram

2.4 Cable gland

• After electrical connection, tighten the cable gland.
• Screw the cap nut, until the cable entry is closed tightly.

2.5 Cable run
Run the connection cable in a way that no traction can occur at the pressure detector.

2.6 Switching point

• The switching point is adjusted at 40 mbar.
• A modification may be carried out by the manufacturer only.

Utilization

3.1 Commissioning

• Put the pressure detector into operation only, if the installation in the silo or vessel and the electrical connection have been done correctly.

3.2 Normal operation

• Use the pressure detector in its intended application only.
• Comply with the specifications on the data plate.
• Damaged devices have to put out of operation immediately.
• The pressure detector must not be modified. If there is any modification, the warranty of the manufacturer will be, cancelled.

3.3 Inexpert handling

• Ignoring of the safety instructions and the operating instructions.
• Not intended use.
• Modification at the device or of the switching point adjusting.
• Violation against applicable law and standards.

Maintenance and servicing

4.1 Maintenance

• In case of intended use, the silo pressure detector needs no maintenance.

4.2 Servicing

• The servicing of the pressure detector may be carried out by the manufacturer only.

Storage

• Store the pressure detector dry and dust-free.
• Protect the membrane from damage.

Disposal

• The pressure detector can be recycled.
• The disposal applies to the valid environmental guidelines according to the location of the carrier and the local manufacturing conditions.

Special conditions and instructions for safe application

1. The installation, maintenance, initial operation, removal and repair have to be controlled resp. checked by an “authorized person” for explosion protection.

2. For the electrical connection you have to take notice of the local and statutory requirements and/or the VDE 0100.

3. Take notice of the specifications on the data plate.

4. ATTENTION! with design B5:
   For load limitation a certified barrier or a certified isolation amplifier with an intrinsically safe circuit at least for the category “ib” has to
   be connected in series, witch is certified for gases of explosion group IIC.
   4. ATTENTION! with design B22:
   For load limitation a certified barrier or a certified isolation amplifier with an intrinsically safe circuit at least for the category “ia” has to be connected in series, witch is certified for gases of explosion group IIC.

5. As soon as the device will be brought into the explosion hazardous area it has to be mounted immediately at the precaused place and a cable has to be brought into the cable gland.

6. Using the device in ambient temperatures > +60 °C, the applied connection cables have to be made for temperatures of min. +80 °C.

7. The cable gland and the plug screw were screwed and protected at the factory. Please check if they have loosened during on the mounting or at the transport. When it is loosened, it ha s to be fitted again.

8. To secure the type of protection, the screw nut of the cable gland has to be fixed at the installation with a torsional force of min. 5.0 Nm.
   ATTENTION! If it will be fastened too strong, the IP-protection can be affected.

9. The earth connection of the device has to be installed in such a way that mechanical damage will be excluded.

10. The device may put into operation with intact cap-sealing and when it is closed, only.

11. Switch off the power supply, before opening the device.

12. Using the Silo pressure detector in the silo wall under deviating atmospheric conditions the maximum differential pressure has not to exceed 80 mbar and the working temperature has not to exceed +80 °C at the membran.

13. In case of existing combustible dusts with a minimum ignition energy less than 3 mJ or with a minimum ignition temperature under +300 °C (BAM assessment), the parts in contact with the dust musst be made of stainless steel.

14. In zone 0 all parts in contact with gas and dust must be made of stainless steel.

15. Take notice of the requirements of DIN EN 60079-14, DIN EN 60079-17 and DIN EN 1127-1, especially regarding the dust deposits and temperatures and follow the pertinent rules and regulations.

16. The device with an intrinsically safe electric circuit can be used in dusty explosive hazardous areas.

17. Hybrid Mixtures
    The Silo pressure detector is approved for the use in hybrid mixtures.

18. ATTENTION safety device!
    Don´t modify anything at the device or at the switching point adjusting!
