3 Identification
3.1 Product identification
The following options are available for identification of the measuring device:
• Nameplate specifications
• Order code with breakdown of the device features on the delivery note
• Enter serial numbers from nameplates in W@M Device Viewer
(www.endress.com/deviceviewer): All information about the measuring device is
displayed.
For an overview of the technical documentation provided, enter the serial number from the
nameplates in the W@M Device Viewer (www.endress.com/deviceviewer).
3.2 Device designation
3.2.1 Nameplate
• 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 (38 °C) 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
• The test pressure corresponds to the over pressure limit (OPL) of the device = MWP x 1.5
2).
• 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.
1) With regard to their stability-temperature property, the materials 1.4435 and 1.4404 are grouped together
under 13EO in EN 1092-1 Tab. 18. The chemical composition of the two materials can be identical.
2) The equation does not apply for PMP51 and PMP55 with a 40 bar (600 psi) or a 100 bar (1500 psi) measuring
cell.

4.4 General installation instructions
• Devices with a G 1 1/2 thread:
When screwing the device into the tank, the flat seal has to be positioned on the sealing
surface
of the process connection. To avoid additional strain on the process isolating diaphragm,
the thread should never be sealed with hemp or similar materials.
• Devices with NPT threads:
– Wrap Teflon tape around the thread to seal it.
– Tighten the device at the hexagonal bolt only. Do not turn at the housing.
– Do not overtighten the thread when screwing. Max. torque: 20 to 30 Nm (14.75 to
22.13 lbf ft)
4.4.1 Mounting sensor modules with PVDF thread
WARNING
!
Risk of damage to process connection!
Risk of injury!
‣Sensor modules with PVDF process connections with threaded connection must be
installed with the mounting bracket provided!
WARNING
!
Material fatigue from pressure and temperature!
Risk of injury if parts burst! The thread can become loose if exposed to high pressure and
temperatures.
‣The integrity of the thread must be checked regularly and the thread may need to be re-
tightened with the maximum tightening torque of 7 Nm (5.16 lbf ft). Teflon tape is
recommended for sealing the ½" NPT thread.

4.5 Installing Cerabar M
• Due to the orientation of the Cerabar M, there may be a shift in the zero point, i.e. when
the container is empty or partially full, the measured value does not display zero. You can
correct this zero point shift ä47, Section "Function of the operating elements" or
ä73, Section 8.3 "Pos. zero adjust".
• For PMP55, please refer to Section 4.5.2 "Installation instructions for devices with
diaphragm seals – PMP55", ä17.
• Endress+Hauser offers a mounting bracket for installing on pipes or walls.
ä21, Section 4.5.5 "Wall and pipe mounting (optional)".
4.5.1 Installation instructions for devices without diaphragm seals –
PMP51, PMC51
NOTICE
Damage to the device!
If a heated Cerabar M is cooled during the cleaning process (e.g. by cold water), a vacuum
develops for a short time, whereby moisture can penetrate the sensor through the pressure
compensation (1).
‣If this is the case, mount the Cerabar M with the pressure compensation (1) pointing
downwards.
• Keep the pressure compensation and GORE-TEX®filter (1) free from contamination.
• Cerabar M transmitters without diaphragm seals are mounted as per the norms for a
manometer (DIN EN 837-2). We recommend the use of shutoff devices and siphons. The
orientation depends on the measuring application.
• Do not clean or touch process isolating diaphragms with hard or pointed objects.
• The device must be installed as follows in order to comply with the cleanability
requirements of the ASME-BPE (Part SD Cleanability):

PMP55
• Cerabar M devices with diaphragm seals are screwed in, flanged or clamped, depending on
the type of diaphragm seal.
• 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.
• Do not clean or touch the process isolating diaphragm of the diaphragm seal with hard or
pointed objects.
• Do not remove process isolating diaphragm protection until shortly before installation.
NOTICE
Improper handling!
Damage to the device!
‣A diaphragm seal and the pressure transmitter together form a closed, oil-filled
calibrated system. The fill fluid hole is sealed and may not be opened.
‣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
(3.94 in)).
‣Please observe the application limits of the diaphragm seal filling oil as detailed in the
Technical Information for Cerabar M TI00436P, "Planning instructions for diaphragm
seal systems" section.
NOTICE
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 of 100 mm (3.94 in).
‣Do not use the capillaries as a carrying aid for the diaphragm seals!

Vacuum application
For applications under vacuum, Endress+Hauser recommends mounting the pressure
transmitter below the diaphragm seal. This prevents vacuum loading of the diaphragm seal
caused by the presence of fill fluid in the capillary.
When the pressure transmitter is mounted above the diaphragm seal, the maximum height
difference H1 in accordance with the illustrations below must not be exceeded.

Fig. 9: Installation above the lower diaphragm seal
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 (empty vessel), see illustration
below:

Mounting with temperature isolator
Endress+Hauser recommends the use of temperature isolators in the event of constant
extreme medium temperatures which lead to the maximum permissible electronics
temperature of +85 °C (+185°F) being exceeded.
Depending on the filling oil used, diaphragm seal systems with temperature isolators can be
used for maximum temperatures of up to 400 °C (+752 °F). For the temperature
application limits, see technical Information, "Diaphragm seal filling oils" section.
To minimize the influence of rising heat, Endress+Hauser recommends the device be
mounted horizontally or with the housing pointing downwards. The additional installation
height also brings about a maximum zero point shift of 21 mbar (0.315 psi) due to the
hydrostatic column in the temperature isolator. You can correct this zero point shift at the
device.
The temperature restrictions are lowest with an insulation height of 30 mm (1.18 inch).
Full insulation exhibits virtually the same behavior as no insulation!
The temperature limits with an insulation height of 30 mm (1.18 inch) are illustrated in the
following graphic.

NOTICE
Corrupted measurement results.
The seal is not allowed to press against the process isolating diaphragm as this could affect
the measurement result.
‣Ensure that the seal is not touching the process isolating diaphragm.

4.5.4 Thermal insulation – PMP55
The PMP55 may 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. The data were determined under the most critical application "quiescent air".
