Safety instructions
Appropriate use
The electrically measuring pressure transducer is a pressure‐bearing piece of
equipment and is to be used exclusively for pressure measurement tasks and
directly related control tasks. Use for any purpose other than the above is
deemed to be inappropriate.
In the interests of safety, the device should only be operated as described in
the Operating Manual. It is also essential to comply with the legal and safety
requirements for the application concerned during use. The same applies to
the use of accessories.
Each pressure‐bearing system is an energy store, particularly when the
pressure‐transmitting medium is compressible or the more it is compressed
and even more so, when the pressure medium has a high compressed volume.
If the measurement medium is released unexpectedly and forces are released
from the stored energies, this could pollute the environment, destroy
equipment or cause personal injury.
If a fine steam of hydrocarbon escapes and atomizes into the environment,
then this could lead to an explosion, even with media such as hydraulic oil,
which are usually quite harmless.
The device with its low product of pressure and volume
"PS [bar]*V[l]" complies with the basic safety requirements as per Annex I of
the "Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC" and therefore conforms to
recognized engineering regulations.
It is not appropriate for use as an "accessory with a safety function", in
accordance with the regulations and this must be assessed by the user (within
the meaning of Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC) for the particular
situation.
Proper and safe operation of this pressure transducer requires proper
transportation, correct storage, installation and mounting and careful operation.
