1 Safety precautions
1.1 Appropriate use
The PS17 differential pressure transmitter is designed to measure differential pressure in
cleanrooms, machines, filter technology and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning
systems (HVAC). It is used to measure the differential pressure of non-aggressive, non-
combustible gases up to a pressure of 10 kPa in non-explosive environments.
Always observe the operating requirements indicated on the type label and the data sheet –
particularly the permissible supply voltage.
The device may only be handled as indicated in this manual. Modifications to the device are
prohibited. The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by improper use or failure to
follow these instructions. Violations of this type render all warranty claims null and void.
Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer. The device may only be cleaned
from the outside with a damp cloth.

dangerous if used inappropriately. Precautions must be taken to prevent the device being
used incorrectly by mistake. This device requires no maintenance. The device must be
installed by trained technical personnel.
The following warnings are used in this instruction manual:
WARNING
This warns you of a potential hazard that could lead to serious bodily injury up to and
including death if the corresponding instructions are not followed.
2 Storage and transportation
Do not close the pressure inlets during shipping. Changes in barometric pressure may
damage devices with low measurement ranges.
In addition, ensure that the device is stored at the correct temperature (see data sheet).
3 Disposal
The electronic components of the device contain environmentally hazardous materials and
materials that can be reused. The device must therefore be sent to a recycling plant when
you no longer wish to use it. Compliance with the environmental codes of your country is
essential.
