4.1.1 ConnectingImpulsePipingtothe
Transmitter
(1) ChecktheHighandLowPressure
ConnectionsontheTransmitter(Figure4.1)
Symbols“H”and“L”havebeenplacedonthecapsule
assemblytoindicatehighandlowpressureside.With
differentialpressuretransmitters,connectthehigh
pressuresideimpulselinetothe“H”side,andthelow
pressuresideimpulselinetothe“L”side.
Withgauge/absolutepressuretransmitters,connectthe
impulselinetothe‘H’side.
