1.1 Important information
This manual applies to the MDT 420/460/435/467 and PT 420/460, TDA 432/463 and
LDA 415 series only. It must be kept near the equipment in a readily and immediately
accessible locaon at all mes.
The content of this manual must be read, understood and
followed in all points by all relevant people. This applies in parcular to the notes on
safety. Following the safety instrucons will help to prevent accidents, defects and
malfuncons.
DYNISCO will not be held liable for any injury, loss or damage resulng from failure to
follow the instrucons in this manual.
If malfuncons occur in spite of having followed the operang instrucons, please
contact the DYNISCO customer service department (see chapter 8,
Maintenance).
This applies in parcular during the warranty period.

1.5 Correct use
The purpose of the pressure transducer is to measure pressure in plasc melt as part
of a larger overall system. The PT can be used in media temperatures up to 400°C.
If the PT is used in other applicaons, the safety and accident prevenon regulaons
specic to that applicaon must be followed.
When using the PT as a safety component in accordance with the EC Machine
Direcve, Annex IIc, the equipment manufacturer must take any necessary
precauons to ensure that malfuncons of the PT cannot cause damage or injury.
1.6 User’s obligations
The operator or owner of the larger overall system, e.g. a machine, is responsible for
following the safety and accident prevenon regulaons that apply to the specic
applicaon.
2. Notes on safety
The operator or owner of the larger overall system is responsible for
following the safety and accident prevenon regulaons that apply
to the specic applicaon.
Toxic hazard!
The PT contains a small amount (7 mm³) of mercury (Hg) as its transmis-
sion medium. If the diaphragm is damaged, mercury may escape.
Never transport or store the PT without the protecve shell bolted in
place. Remove the shell shortly before installaon.
If mercury is inhaled or swallowed, seek medical aenon immediately!
Mercury is hazardous waste and must be disposed of in accordance with
applicable laws. DYNISCO will accept defecve PTs. If mercury escapes,
use airght packaging!

Rev: 1117P/N: n/a ECO: n/a
When planning machinery and using the PT, follow the safety and
accident prevenon regulaons that apply to your applicaon,
e.g.:
● EN 60204, Electrical equipment in
machines.
● EN 292, Machine safety, general design
guidelines.
● DIN 57 100 Part 410, Protecon against
electric shock.
Mounng and electrical connecon of the PT must be done by specialists
with EMC training, following all applicable regulaons, and in
pressureless, voltage-free condion with the machine switched o.
The machine must be secured against being switched back on!
Burn hazard!
The PT must be removed with the melt in molten condion. The PT can
be very hot when removed.
Wear protecve gloves!
