immediately after disassembling.
!Handle the unprotected diaphragm very carefully - it is very
sensitive and may be easily damaged.
!Do not use any force when installing the device to prevent
damage of the device and the plant!
Take note that no inadmissibly high mechanical stresses
occur at the pressure port as a result of the installation,
since this may cause a shifting of the characteristic curve or
to the demage. This is especially important for very small
pressure ranges as well as for devices with a pressure port
made of plastic.
In hydraulic systems, position the device in such a way that
the pressure port points upward (venting).
