1 Safety instructions
1.1 Designated use
The Deltabar S is a differential pressure transmitter for measuring differential pressure, flow and
level.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages resulting from incorrect use or use other than that
designated.
1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
The device is designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements and complies with applicable
standards and EC regulations. If installed incorrectly or used for applications for which it is not
intended, however, it is possible that application-related dangers may arise, e.g. product overflow
due to incorrect installation or configuration. For this reason, installation, connection to the
electricity supply, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measuring system must only
be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorized to perform such work by the facility's
owner-operator. The specialist staff must have read and understood these Operating Instructions
and must follow the instructions they contain. Modifications and repairs to the device are
permissible only if they are expressly approved in the Operating Instructions. Pay particular
attention to the technical data on the nameplate.
1.3 Operational safety and process safety
Alternative monitoring measures must be taken to ensure operational safety and process safety
during configuration, testing and maintenance work on the device.
1.3.1 Hazardous areas (optional)
Devices for use in hazardous areas are fitted with an additional nameplate (→ä6). If using the
measuring system in hazardous areas, the appropriate national standards and regulations must be
observed. The device is accompanied by separate "Ex documentation", which is an integral part of
these Operating Instructions. The installation regulations, connection values and safety instructions
listed in this Ex document must be observed. The documentation number of the related safety
instructions is also indicated on the additional nameplate.
• Ensure that all personnel are suitably qualified.

2.1.1 Nameplates
!Note!
• The MWP (maximum working pressure) is specified on the nameplate. This value refers to a
reference temperature of 20°C (68°F) or 100°F for ANSI flanges.
• The pressure values permitted at higher temperatures can be found in the following standards:
– EN 1092-1: 2001 Tab. 18 1)
– ASME B 16.5a – 1998 Tab. 2-2.2 F316
– ASME B 16.5a – 1998 Tab. 2.3.8 N10276
– JIS B 2220
• For PMD70 and PMD75, the MWP applies for the temperature ranges specified in Technical
Information TI00382P in the "Ambient temperature range" and "Process temperature limits"
sections.
• The test pressure corresponds to the overpressure limit (OPL) of the device = MWP x 1.5.
• The Pressure Equipment Directive (EC Directive 97/23/EC) uses the abbreviation "PS". The
abbreviation "PS" corresponds to the MWP (maximum working pressure) of the measuring
device.

3.1 Incoming acceptance and storage
3.1.1 Incoming acceptance
• Check the packaging and the contents for damage.
• Check the shipment, make sure nothing is missing and that the scope of supply matches your
order.
3.1.2 Transport
"Caution!
Follow the safety instructions and transport conditions for devices of more than 18 kg (39.69 lbs).
Transport the measuring device to the measuring point in its original packaging or at the process
connection.
3.1.3 Storage
The device must be stored in a dry, clean area and protected against impact (EN 837-2).
Storage temperature range:
• –40 to +90°C (–40 to +212°F)
• Onsite display: –40 to +85°C (–40 to +185°F)
• Separate housing: –40 to +60°C (–40 to +140°F)
3.2 Installation conditions
3.2.1 Dimensions
→ For dimensions, please refer to the Technical Information for Deltabar S TI00382P, "Mechanical
construction" section. →ä2 "Overview of documentation".
3.3 Installation instructions
!Note!
• Due to the orientation of the Deltabar S, there may be a shift in the measured value, i.e. when
the container is empty or partially full, the measured value does not display zero. You can correct
this zero point shift using the "Zero" key on the electronic insert or externally on the device or via
the onsite display. →ä28, Section 5.2.1 "Position of the operating elements", →ä31,
Section 5.2.3 "Function of the operating elements – onsite display connected" and →ä58,
Section 6.4 "Position adjustment".
• For FMD77 and FMD78, please refer to Section 3.3.4 "Installation instructions for devices with
diaphragm seals (FMD78)", →ä18.
• General recommendations for routing the pressure piping can be found in DIN 19210 "Methods
for measurement of fluid flow; differential piping for flow measurement devices" or the
corresponding national or international standards.
• Using a three-way or five-way valve manifold allows for easy commissioning, installation and
maintenance without interrupting the process.
• When routing the pressure piping outdoors, ensure that sufficient antifreeze protection is used,
e.g. by using pipe heat tracing.
• Install the pressure piping with a monotonic gradient of at least 10%.

• Mount the Deltabar S below the lower measuring connection so that the pressure piping is always
filled with liquid.
• Always connect the impulse piping of negative side above the maximum level.
• A condensate trap ensures constant pressure on the negative side.
• When measuring in media with solid parts, such as dirty liquids, installing separators and drain
valves is useful for capturing and removing sediment.

• Mount the diaphragm seal with capillaries at the top or on the side on the piping.
• For vacuum applications: mount the Deltabar S below the measuring point. →ä19,
Section 3.3.4, "Vacuum application (FMD78)".
• The ambient temperature should be the same for both capillaries.
3.3.4 Installation instructions for devices with diaphragm seals
(FMD78)
!Note!
• The diaphragm seal, together with the pressure transmitter, forms a closed, calibrated system,
which is filled through openings in the diaphragm seal and in the measurement system of the
pressure transmitter. These openings are sealed and must not be opened.
• Do not clean or touch diaphragm seals with hard or pointed objects.
• Do not remove the protection of the process isolating diaphragm until shortly before installation.
• When using a mounting bracket, sufficient strain relief must be ensured for the capillaries in order
to prevent the capillary bending down (bending radius ≥ 100 mm (3.94 in)).
• Please note that the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid columns in the capillaries can cause zero
point shift. The zero point shift can be corrected. →ä58, Section 6.4 "Position adjustment".
• Please note the application limits of the diaphragm seal filling oil as detailed in the Technical
Information for Deltabar S TI00382P, "Planning instructions for diaphragm seal systems" section.
→ä2, "Overview of documentation".
In order to obtain more precise measurement results and to avoid a defect in the device, mount the
capillaries as follows:
• Vibration-free (in order to avoid additional pressure fluctuations)
• Not in the vicinity of heating or cooling lines
• Insulate if the ambient temperature is below or above the reference temperature
• With a bending radius ≥100 mm (3.94 in).
• The ambient temperature and length of both capillaries should be the same when using two-sided
diaphragm seal systems.
• Two diaphragm seals which are the same (e.g. with regard to diameter, material, etc.) should
always be used for the negative and positive side (standard delivery).

Fig. 18: Mounting Deltabar S, FMD78 with diaphragm seals and capillaries, recommended mounting for vacuum
applications: mount pressure transmitter below the lowest diaphragm seal!
Vacuum application (FMD78)
For applications under vacuum, Endress+Hauser recommends mounting the pressure transmitter
underneath the lower diaphragm seal. A vacuum load of the diaphragm seal caused by the presence
of filling oil in the capillaries is hereby prevented.
When the pressure transmitter is mounted above the lower diaphragm seal, the maximum height
difference H1 in accordance with the illustration below left must not be exceeded. The maximum
height difference depends on the density of the filling oil and the smallest ever pressure that is
permitted to occur at the diaphragm seal on the positive side (empty container), see illustration
below right.

#Warning!
The seal is not allowed to press on the process isolating diaphragm as this could affect the

3.3.6 Heat insulation – FMD77
The FMD77 must only be insulated up to a certain height. The maximum permitted insulation
height is indicated on the devices and applies to an insulation material with a heat conductivity
≤0.04 W/(m x K) and to the maximum permitted ambient and process temperature (→see table
below). The data were determined under the most critical application "quiescent air".
