3.2.2 Installation (except level)
Mounting location
Verify that the mounting location meets the following conditions:
● Accessible
● Close to the measuring point
● Vibration-free
● Within the permitted ambient temperature values
Protect the pressure transmitter from:
● Direct heat radiation
● Rapid temperature fluctuations
● Heavy contamination
● Mechanical damage
● Direct sunlight
Requirement
● You have compared the desired operating data with the data on the nameplate.
● You have adhered to the information on the remote seal during its installation.
Procedure
1. Attach the pressure transmitter to the process connection.
Use an appropriate tool (e.g. open-ended wrench with width across flats 36). Otherwise,
the measuring cell may be damaged.
2. Turn only on the key area above the process connection.
Caution: If you turn the pressure transmitter on the housing, the measuring cell may be
damaged.
3. To guarantee secure and vibration-free installation of the pressure transmitter, fasten it to
a mounting bracket (Page 22).
3.2.3 Fastening with the mounting bracket
Introduction
You mount the pressure transmitter with the mounting bracket as described below:
● On a mounting range
● On a vertical or horizontal pipe (Ø 50 to 60 mm)
When securing, observe the torques in the section Torques (Page 93).
