5. Mounting
5.1 Mounting and Safety Instructions
DANGER! Risk due to electric shock!
Always mount the device in an unpressur-
ised and currentless state! Risk of explo-
sion, flying parts, leaking media, electric
shock!
• The technical data listed in the EU type examina-
tion certificate are binding. Please download the
certificate from www.armano-messtechnik.com.
• Ensure that the entire interconnection of intrinsical-
ly safe components remains intrinsically safe. The
operator is responsible for the intrinsic safety of the
overall system (the complete circuit).
• If there is an increased risk of damage to the device
by lightning strike or overvoltage, additional light-
ning protection must be provided!
• Handle an unprotected membrane with extreme
care; it can easily be damaged.
• Concerning outdoor installation or installation in
humid environments:
• Electrically connect the instrument immediately
after installation or prevent the ingress of mois-
ture e.g. by using a suitable protective cap (the
degree of protection specified in the data sheet
applies to the connected device).
• Select an installation position that allows splash
water and condensation to drain off. Ensure that
sealing surfaces are not exposed to standing
liquid!
• For devices with cable gland, the outgoing
cable must be routed downwards. If the cable
needs to be routed upwards, this must be done
in an initially downward curve.
• Install the device in such a way that it is protect-
ed from direct sunlight. In the worst case, direct
sunlight may result in the maximum permissible
operating temperature being exceeded. This
must be excluded if the device is used in explo-
sion-hazardous areas!
• A device with gauge reference in the housing
(small orifice next to the electrical connection)
must be mounted in such a way that the gauge
reference required for the measurement is pro-
tected from dirt and moisture. If the transmitter
is exposed to liquid, the gauge reference will be
blocked and the air pressure compensation will
be prevented. In this condition, a precise meas-
urement is not possible and the transmitter may
be damaged.
• Provide a cooling extension when used in
steam pipes.

Operating Instructions
Pressure Transmitter PTFi
• During installation, avoid high mechanical stresses
at the pressure connection! This leads to a shift in
the characteristic curve or results in damage, espe-
cially in case of very small pressure ranges and for
devices with a plastic pressure connection.
• For hydraulic systems, position the device in a way
that the pressure connection points upwards (ven-
tilation).
• If the device is installed with the pressure connec-
tion facing upwards, make sure that no liquid runs
down the housing. This could result in moisture and
dirt blocking the gauge reference in the housing
and cause malfunctions. If necessary, remove any
dust and dirt from the edge of the screw fitting of
the electrical connection.
• To avoid damaging the membrane and the threads,
please remove the packaging and the protection
caps not until installation of the device!
• The protection caps must be stored! Dispose of the
packaging properly!
CAUTION!
The specified tightening torques must not
be exceeded!

The device is equipped with sensitive elec-
tronic components and has to be handled
with due care.
• Use the original packaging or comparable packag-
ing for transport.
• Avoid impacts or strong vibrations.
• Protect the device against moisture.
12. Recalibration and Return
12.1 Recalibration
The offset value or range value may shift during the
service life of the device. In this regard, it appears that
a deviating signal value in relation to the set lower or
upper range value is displayed. If either of these two
phenomena occurs after prolonged use, recalibration
is recommended to ensure continued high accuracy.
11. Maintenance/ Cleaning,
Storage and Transport
CAUTION! Material damage and loss
of warranty!
Any modifications or interventions in the de-
vice, made by the customer, might damage
important parts or components. Such inter-
vention leads to the loss of any warranty and
manufacturer’s responsibility!
ÆNever modify the device or perform any
repairs yourself.
Maintenance:
In principle, the device is maintenance-free. If neces-
sary, the housing of the device can be cleaned with a
damp cloth and a non-aggressive cleaning solution
when switched off.
Cleaning:
Depending on the medium, deposits or contamination
may occur on the membrane. If such a tendency of
the medium is known, the operator has to specify ap-
propriate cleaning intervals.
After professionally decommissioning the instrument,
the membrane can usually be cleaned carefully with
a non-aggressive cleaning solution and a soft brush
or sponge. If the membrane is calcified, it is recom-
mended to have the decalcification carried out by the
ARMANO Messtechnik GmbH. Please also refer to
chapter 12.2 “Return”.
CAUTION! Incorrect cleaning may cause
irreparable damage of the measuring cell.
Therefore, never use any sharp objects or
compressed air for cleaning the membrane.
IMPORTANT! Improper transport can de-
stroy the device and cause considerable
personal and property damage.
Please inspect the transport packaging and
the delivered items immediately upon their
receipt to determine their integrity, com-
pleteness and conformity with the delivery
documents.
The permissible ambient conditions for
storage and transport can be found in the
data sheet.
