1.1 Appropriate use
The AD 1000 absolute pressure transmitter / BA 1000 barometer is designed for displaying
atmospheric pressure and absolute pressure in such areas as weather stations and airports.

or failure to follow these instructions. Violations of this type render all warranty claims null and
void.
1.2 Shipping, assembly, electrical connections and start-up

facility may assemble the instrument and set up its electrical connections.
The instrument may only be operated by appropriately trained individuals who have been
authorized by the operator of the facility.
