3. Mount the product on flat surface using the mounting points.
   A. Mounting point
   Mounting orientation:
   Select the mounting screws according to the mounting surface. The maximum screw diameter is 4.3 mm.
   Important: Don’t use excessive force when tightening the mounting screws.

4. Install the measuring hoses carefully so that the hoses don’t bend too tightly. Too tight curves may prevent the air flow to the sensor.

4.2 Measuring range selection

Settings for -250 models

4.3 Selecting response time
The response time affects how fast the transmitter reacts to changes in the system. The response time is the time the device takes to reach 63 % of the measured value. To smooth out unstable pressure fluctuations in applications, select a longer response time.

1. Open the cover.
2. Press the zeroing button briefly. The indicator light and display (-D models) indicate the selected response time.
   Indicator light| Display| Response time
   ---|---|---
   Three short flashes| 0.8| 0.8 seconds
   Two long flashes| 4| 4 seconds
3. Close the cover.

4.4 Wiring

4-20 mA

The possible zero point drifting can be eliminated by using the zeroing button on the circuit board.
Note: Supply voltage must have been connected for one hour prior the zeroing.

1. Disconnect both pressure measurement hoses.
2. Push the zeroing button until the indicator light turns on. The indicator light turns on approximately after 4 seconds.
3. Release the zeroing button. Zeroing starts and the indicator turns off. The zeroing is complete when the indicator light flashes two times.
4. Connect the pressure measurement hoses.

Disposal

The device is considered as electrical and electronic equipment for disposal in terms of the applicable European Directive. At the end of life the product must enter the recycling system at an appropriate collection point.

• The device must be disposed through channels provided for this purpose.
• The disposal must be completed according to the local and currently applicable laws and regulations.
