3.1 Mounting and safety instructions
WARNING! Install the device only when depressurized
and currentless!
WARNING! This device may only be installed by qualified
technical personnel who has read and understood the op-
erating manual!
Oxygen
DANGER! When used improperly, special versions of de-
vices suitable for oxygen applications may explode! To
ensure a usage without danger, the following points must
be adhered to:
- Make sure that your device has been ordered as a
special version for oxygen applications and that it
has been delivered conformably. You can check this
easily by reading the manufacturing label (see figure
1). If your ordering code ends with the numbers
"007", your device is suitable for the oxygen applica-
tion.
- When being dispatched the device is packed into a
plastic bag to keep it from impurity. The indication
label with the text "Device for oxygen, unpack only
directly before assembling" has to be observed! Fur-
thermore any skin contact must be avoided during
unpacking and installing the device, so that no fatty
residue remains on the device!
- For installing the respective regulations for explosion
protection have to be fulfilled. Please check if an
ATEX-approval is necessary for the application in
addition to the acceptability for oxygen. (the deliv-
ered device has no ATEX-approval)
- Consider that the entire construction must corre-
spond to the standards of BAM (DIN 19247).
- For oxygen applications over 25 bar are recom-
mended pressure transmitter without seals.
- Transmitters with o-rings of 70 EPDM 281:
permissible maximum values: 15 bar/ 60° C and
10 bar/ 60 up to 90°C.
- Transmitters with o-rings of FKM Vi 567:
permissible maximum values: 15 bar/ 60° C.
! Handle this high-sensitive electronic precision measuring
device with care, both in packed and unpacked condition!
! There are no modifications/changes to be made on the
device.
! Do not throw the package/device!
! To avoid damaging the diaphragm, remove packaging
and protective cap directly before starting assembly. The
delivered protective cap has to be stored!
! Place the protective cap on the pressure port again
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!
! For installations outdoor and in damp areas following
these instructions:
- To prevent moisture admission in the plug the device
should be installed electrically after mounting, at
once. Otherwise a moisture admission has to be
blocked e.g. by using a suitable protection cap. (The
ingress protection in the data sheet is valid for the
connected device.)
- Choose an assembly position, which allows the flow-
off of splashed water and condensation. Avoid per-
manent fluid at sealing surfaces!
- When using a cable gland or outlet device, turn the
outgoing cable downwards. If the cable has to be
turned upwards, then point it downward so the mois-
ture can drain.
- Install the device in such a way that it is protected
from direct solar irradiation. Direct solar irradiation
can lead to the permissible operating temperature
being overstepped in the worst case. By this the op-
erability of the device can be affected or damaged. If
the internal pressure increases due to solar irradia-
tion, measurement errors may be caused.
! For devices with gauge reference in the housing (small
hole next to the electrical connection), install the device in
such a way, that the gauge reference is protected from
dirt and moisture. Should the device be exposed to fluid
admission, the functionality will be blocked by the gauge
reference. An exact measurement in this condition is not
possible. Furthermore this can lead to damages on the
device.
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 (ventilation).
Provide a cooling line when using the device in steam
piping.
If there is any danger of damage by lightning or
overpressure when the device is installed outdoor, we
suggest putting a sufficiently dimensioned overpressure
protection between the supply or switch cabinet and the
device.
If the device is installed with the pressure connection up,
it has to be made sure that no liquid drain off at the case.
Humidity and dirt can block the relative cover in the case
and it could lead to malfunctions through this. Dust and
dirt must be removed from the edge of the thread connec-
tion of the electrical connection if required.

the technical data shown on the manufacturing label, the
following table and the respective wiring diagram.
Pin configuration:
Wiring diagrams:
2-wire-system (current)
3-wire-system (current/supply)
! For devices with cable gland as well as cable socket, you
have to make sure that the external diameter of the used
cable is within the allowed clamping range. Moreover you
have to ensure that it lies in the cable gland firmly and
cleftlessly!
! For the installation of a device with cable outlet following
bending radiuses have to be complied with:
cable without ventilation tube:
static installation : 5-fold cable diameter
dynamic application: 10-fold cable diameter
cable with ventilation tube:
static installation : 10-fold cable diameter
dynamic application: 20-fold cable diameter
! Please note for devices with ISO 4400 or Buccaneer plug,
that the cable socket has to be mounted properly to
ensure the ingress protection mentioned in the data
sheet. Please check if the delivered seal is placed
between plug and cable socket. After connecting the
cable fasten the cable socket on the device by using the
screw.
! On devices with field housings, the terminal clamps are
situated under the metal cap. To install the device
electrically, the cap must be screwed off. Before the cover
is screwed on again, the O-ring and the sealing surface
on the housing have to be checked for damages and if
necessary to be changed! Afterwards screw the metal cap
on by hand and make sure that the field housing is firmly
locked again.
! Prevent the damage or removal of the PTFE filter which
is fixed over the end of the air tube on devices with cable
outlet and integrated air tube.
For the electrical connection a shielded and twisted
multicore cable is recommended.
If a transition is desired from a transmitter cable with
gauge tube to a cable without gauge tube, we recommend
our terminal box KL 1 or KL 2.
5. Initial start-up
WARNING! Before start-up, the user has to check for
proper installation and for any visible defects.
WARNING! The device can be started and operated by
authorized personnel only, who have read and under-
stood the operating manual!
WARNING! The device has to be used within the tech-
nical specifications, only! (compare the data in the data
sheet)
The transmitter shall be supplied by Limited Energy
Source (per UL 61010) or NEC Class 2 Power Source.
Devices with an accuracy of 0.1 % FSO have micro-
controlled electronics for processing and improving the
signal. Principally, the processing takes more time as for
analogue sensors, which have only an amplifier. Due to
this longer response time, the output signal follows the
measured value discontinuously. For nearly stable
measured values, this characteristic is secondary. Please
compare the specification of the response time in the data
sheet.
Intelligent devices with optional communication
interfaces can also be configured by these electronics.
Offset, span and damping are programmable within the
limits given in the data sheet. For configuring the device,
the programming kit CIS 510 consisting of Adapt 1, Win-
dows

compatible programming software
P-Scale 510, power supply and connecting cable is nec-
essary. This can be ordered additionally from BD SEN-
SORS.
6. Placing out of service
WARNING! Disassemble the device only in current and
pressure less condition! Check before disassembly, if it is
necessary to drained off the media before dismantling!
WARNING! Depending on the medium, it may cause dan-
ger for the user. Comply therefore with adequate precau-
tions for purification.
7. Maintenance
In principle, this device is maintenance-free. If desired, the
housing of the device can be cleaned using a damp cloth and
non-aggressive cleaning solutions, in switched-off state.
With certain media, however, the diaphragm may be polluted
or coated with deposit. It is recommended to define corre-
sponding service intervals for control. After placing the device
out of service correctly, the diaphragm can usually be cleaned
carefully with a non-aggressive cleaning solution and a soft
brush or sponge. If the diaphragm is calcified, it is recom-
mended to send the device to BD SENSORS for decalcifica-
tion. Please note the chapter “Service/Repair” below.
! A false cleaning of the device can cause an irreparable
damage on the diaphragm. Therefore never use pointed
objects or pressured air for cleaning the diaphragm.
8. Service / Repair
8.1Recalibration
During the life-time of a transmitter, the value of offset and
span may shift. As a consequence, a deviating signal value in
reference to the nominal pressure range starting point or end
point may be transmitted. If one of these two phenomena oc-
curs after prolonged use, a recalibration is recommended to
ensure furthermore high accuracy.
8.2 Return
Before every return of your device, whether for recalibration,
decalcification, modifications or repair, it has to be cleaned
carefully and packed shatter-proofed. You have to enclose a
notice of return with detailed defect description when sending
the device. If your device came in contact with harmful
substances, a declaration of decontamination is additionally
required. Appropriate forms can be downloaded from our
homepage www.bdsensors.com. Should you dispatch a
device without a declaration of decontamination and if there
are any doubts in our service department regarding the used
medium, repair will not be started until an acceptable
declaration is sent.
If the device came in contact with hazardous
substances, certain precautions have to be
complied with for purification!
9. Disposal
The device has to be disposed of according to the
European Directives 2002/96/EG and
