BASIC REQUIREMENTS AND SAFE USE
The manufacturer will not be liable for damage resulting from incorrect
installation, failure to maintain the device in a suitably functional condition, or
use of the device other than for its intended purpose.
Installation should be carried out by qualified personnel having the necessary
authorisation to install electrical and pressure measuring devices. The
installer is responsible for performing the installation in accordance with these
instructions and with the electromagnetic compatibility and safety regulations
and standards applicable to the type of installation.
In the installation with control and measurement instruments exists, in case of
leakage, a risk to personnel on the side where the medium is under pressure.
All safety and protection requirements must be observed during installation,
operation and inspections.
If a device is not functioning correctly, disconnect it and send it for repair to
the manufacturer or to a firm authorised by the manufacturer.
In order to minimise the risk of malfunction and associated risks to personnel, the
device is not to be installed or used in particularly hostile conditions, where the
following risks occur:
Possibility of mechanical impacts, excessive shocks and vibration;
Excessive temperature fluctuation;
Condensation of water vapour, dust, icing.
When using the device in potentially explosive areas, observe technical
requirements specified in this manual and applicable local (national) regulations.
Changes in the manufacture of transmitters can overtake the update's paper documentation.
Current manuals can be found on the manufacturer's website at www.aplisens.com

with permissible parameters.
Before assembly or disassembly of the transmitter, one must absolutely
disconnect the power source.
Under no circumstances may the electrical system of the transmitter be
repaired or otherwise handled by the user. Damage assessments and repairs
may only be carried out by the manufacturer or its authorised dealer.
Do not use damaged device. If a device is not functioning correctly, disconnect
it.
When using the device in potentially explosive areas, observe technical
requirements specified in this manual and applicable local (national)
regulations.
3. USER INFORMATION

a) Product Certificate, which is also a warranty card;
b) Declaration of Conformity;
c) Copy of the certificate (on request);
d) User Manual ref. No. IO.PCE-28…PC-29(ENG).
Items b), c) and d) are available on the website www.aplisens.com
4. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
4.1. Transport
Transmitters should be transported in multi- or/and single-unit packaging. The packaging
should be protected against displacement and direct weathering effect.
4.2. Storage
The transmitter should be stored in the original packaging, indoor rooms, free of vapours
and corrosive substances, the temperature and relative humidity should not exceed the
permitted conditions (see individual transmitters data sheet).

5. WARRANTY
Manufacturer warrants to the conditions specified in the Product Certificate which is also
a guarantee card.
Warranty is in full force under the condition of using the devices properly along
with the purpose determined in the manual.
6. CONSTRUCTION
6.1. Intended use and functions
Pressure transmitters are designed to measure overpressure, vacuum pressure and
absolute pressure of gases, vapours and liquids (including corrosive).
Differential pressure transmitters are designed to measure the level in closed tanks
and to measure differential pressure at accumulating elements such as filters and
measuring orifices.
Differential pressure transmitters with P-type tubes may operate at static pressures of up
to 4 MPa.
Pressure and differential pressure transmitters may also be equipped with a number
of process connectors, which make it possible to use them with different media such as
dense or aggressive media and for low and high medium temperatures. Examples of
process connectors are listed in point 6.2.
6.2. Construction and dimensions
The main units of transmitters include: measuring head in which a pressure signal is
converted into an electric signal; electronic unit that converts the measuring head signal
into a unified transmission signal; housing and type SGM or FL Exd electrical connector.
Made of a ⌀27 pipe, the transmitter casing is inseparably connected to the measuring
head and electric connector.
Male thread in the electrical connection allows the transmitter to be screwed into an
element such as a flameproof housing, strengthened housing, etc.
