5.4.2 
Devices with a permissible pressure PS ≤200 bar 
correspond to article 3 paragraph (3). They have not been 
subject to a conformity validation. These instruments were 
designed and manufactured acc. to SEP Sound 
Engineering Practices.

5.1 
Study these installation instructions carefully before 
proceeding. Failure to observe the warnings and 
instructions may cause a malfunction or personal hazard. 
Before installing the transmitter, check whether the device 
design meets the requirements of the measuring point 
from a measurement technology and safety point of view. 
This applies in respect of the:
—  Explosion protection certification
—   Measuring  range
—  Gauge pressure stability
—  Temperature (Ambient and Process)
—   Operating  voltage
The suitability of the materials must be checked as regards 
their resistance to the media. This applies in respect of 
the:
—   Gasket
—  Process connection, isolating diaphragm, etc.
In addition, the relevant directives, regulations, standards, 
and accident prevention regulations must be observed 
(e.g., VDE/VDI 3512, DIN 19210, VBG, Elex V, etc.). 
Measurement accuracy is largely dependent on correct 
installation of the pressure transmitter and, if applicable, 
the associated measuring pipe(s). As far as possible, the 
measuring setup should be free from critical ambient 
conditions such as large variations in temperature, 
vibrations, or shocks.
Important. If unfavorable ambient conditions cannot be 
avoided for reasons relating to building structure, 
measurement technology, or other issues, the measurement 
quality may be affected. If a remote seal with capillary tube is 
installed on the transmitter, the additional operating 
instructions for remote seals and the related data sheets must 
be observed.
5.2 
The housings for 266 transmitters are certified as 
conforming to protection type IP66 / IP67 (according to 
IEC 60529) or NEMA 4X (according to NEMA 250). 
The first number indicates the type of protection the 
integrated electronics have against the entry of foreign 
bodies, including dust. 
“6” means that the housing is dust-proof (i.e., no ingress 
of dust). 
The second number indicates the type of protection the 
housing has against the entry of water. 
“6” means that the housing is protected against water; 
specifically, powerful jets of water under standardized 
conditions. 
“7” means that the housing is protected against water; 
specifically, against the effects of temporary immersion in 
water under standardized water pressure and temporal 
conditions.
5.3 
5.3.1 Transmitter factory configuration consideration 
The 266 pressure transmitter in your hands has been 
factory calibrated to reflect the published declared 
performance specification; no further calibration is 
required in normal condition. ABB typically configures 266 
pressure transmitters according to the user requirements. 
A typical configuration includes:
— TAG number
— Calibrated span
— Output linearization
— LCD display configuration
5.3.2 
The transmitter must be installed in hazardous area only if 
it is properly certified. The certification plate is 
permanently fixed on the neck of the transmitter top 
housing.
Warning - General Risk for model 266 used in zone 0. 
The enclosure contains aluminum and is considered to present a 
potential risk of ignition by impact or friction. Care must be 
taken into account during installation and use to prevent impact 
or friction.

5.4.1 Devices with PS >200
Devices with a permissible pressure PS >200 bar have been 
subject to a conformity validation. The data label includes 
the following specifications: Pressure Equipment Directive 
(PED) (2014/68/EU).
