– Always mount the device in a depressurized and de-energized condition!

---|---

DANGER

| The danger of death from improper installation

– Installation must be performed only by appropriately qualified persons who have read and understood the operating manual.

• NOTE – Do not remove the packaging or protective caps of the device until shortly before the mounting procedure, in order to exclude any damage to the diaphragm and the threads! Protective caps must be kept! Dispose of the packaging properly!
• NOTE – If there is an increased risk of damage to the device by lightning strike or overvoltage, increased lightning protection must additionally be provided!
• NOTE – Treat any unprotected diaphragm with utmost care; this can be damaged very easily.
• NOTE – Provide a cooling line when using the device in steam piping and clarify the material compatibility.
• NOTE – The measuring point must be designed in such a way that cavitation and pressure surges are avoided.
• NOTE – When installing the device, avoid high mechanical stresses on the pressure port! This will result in a shift of the characteristic curve or to damage, in particular in the case of very small pressure ranges and devices with a pressure port made of plastic.
• NOTE – In hydraulic systems, position the device in such a way that the pressure port points upward (ventilation).
• NOTE – If the device is installed with the pressure port pointing upwards, ensure that no liquid drains off on the device. This could result in humidity and dirt blocking the gauge reference in the housing and could lead to malfunctions. If necessary, dust and dirt must be removed from the edge of the screwed joint of the electrical connection.
• NOTE – The permissible tightening torque depends on the conditions on site (material and geometry of the mounting point). The specified tightening torques for the pressure transmitter must not be exceeded!
• NOTES – for mounting outdoors or in a moist environment:
• Please note that your application does not show a dew point, which causes condensation and can damage the pressure transmitter. There are specially protected pressure transmitters for these operating conditions. Please contact us in such case.
• Connect the device electrically straightaway after mounting or prevent moisture penetration, e.g. by a suitable protective cap. (The ingress protection specified in the data sheet applies to the connected device.)
• Select the mounting position such that splashed and condensed water can drain off. Stationary liquid on sealing surfaces must be excluded!
• If the device has a cable outlet or cable gland, the outgoing cable must be routed downwards. If the cable needs to be routed upwards, this must be done in an initially downward curve.
• Mount the device such that it is protected from direct solar radiation. In the most unfavourable case, direct solar radiation leads to the exceeding of the permissible operating temperature.
• For devices with gauge reference in the housing (small hole next to the electrical connection), install the device in such a way, that the gauge reference is protected from dirt and moisture. Should the device be exposed to fluid admission, the functionality will be blocked by the gauge reference. An exact measurement in this condition is not possible. Furthermore, this can lead to damages on the device.

Conditions for devices with 3-A symbol

• The device or its connecting piece must be installed in such a way that the surfaces are self-draining (permissible installation position 273° … 87°).
  Make sure that the welding socket is mounted flush inside the tank.

The user is responsible for:

• the correct size of the seal and the choice of an elastomeric sealing material that complies with the 3- A standard
• an easy to clean installation position of the pressure transmitter with little dead space, as well as definition / verification / validation of a suitable cleaning process
• defining adequate service intervals

Conditions for devices, with EHEDG certificate

• Install the device according to the requirements given in EHEDG Guidelines 8, 10 and 37. That is to mount the device in a self-draining orientation. The device should be installed flush with the process area. If mounting in a T-piece, the ratio between the depth of the upstand (L) and the diameter (D) of the upstand shall be L/D<1. If welded adapters are used, the food contact surface must be smooth, and the welding has to be done according to EHEDG Guideline 9 and 35. Suitable pipe couplings and process connections must be applied according to the EHEDG Position Paper. (List the available ones.)

Commissioning

DANGER

| The danger of death from airborne parts, leaking fluid, electric shock

– Operate the device only within the specification! (according to the data sheet)

---|---

• The device has been installed properly.
• The device does not have any visible defect.

In case of highly precise devices with an accuracy of 0.1 % FSO, a microcontroller-controlled electronic system is used for signal processing. This electronic system is used for signal improvement. Due to the principle, the processing of measured values requires a longer time than with purely analogue sensors, which only comprise amplification circuitry. Due to the longer processing time, the output signal follows the measured value not continuously but in jumps. In case of relatively stable and slowly changing measured values, this property plays a minor role. Compare this with the information on the adjusting time in the data sheet. In the case of i-devices with optional communication interfaces can also be configured by these electronics. Offset, span and damping are programmable within the limits given in the data sheet. For configuring the device, the programming kit CIS 510 consisting of Adapt 1, Windows compatible programming software P-Scale 510, power supply and connecting cable is necessary. This can be ordered additionally from BD|SENSORS.

If necessary, clean the housing of the device using a moist cloth and a non- aggressive cleaning solution. During the cleaning processes, note the compatibility of the cleaning media used in combination with the media-wetted materials of the pressure measuring devices. Permissible concentrations and temperatures must be observed. Verification/ validation by the user is essential. For EHEDG certified devices in tanks, the cleaning device must be positioned in such a way that the sensor is directly assessed and wetted for cleaning. The device has been developed for Cleaning in Place (CIP) applications and must not be dismantled for cleaning. Deposits or contamination may occur on the diaphragm/ pressure port in case of certain media. Depending on kind and quality of the process, suitable cyclical maintenance intervals must be specified by the operator. As part of this, regular checks must be carried out regarding corrosion, damage of diaphragm/seal(s) and signal shift. A periodical replacement of the seal(s) may be necessary. If the diaphragm is calcified, it is recommended to send the device to BD|SENSORS for decalcification. Please note the chapter ″Service / repair″ below.
