1 General Information
This document contains necessary information for the proper installation and use of this
device. In addition to this instruction, be sure to observe all statutory requirements, appli-
cable standards, the additional technical specifications on the accompanying data sheet
(see www.labom.com) as well as the specifications indicated on the type plate.
1.1 General Safety Notes
The installation, set up, service or disassembly of this device must only be done by
trained, qualified personnel using suitable equipment and authorized to do so.
Warning
Media can escape if unsuitable devices are used or if the installation is not
correct.
Danger of severe injury or damage
Ensure that the device is suitable for the process and undamaged.
1.2 Intended Use
The device is intended to measure pressure of gases, vapors and liquids as specified in
the data sheet.
1.3 Conformity with EU Regulations
The CE-marking on the device certifies its compliance with the applicable EU Directives for
placing products on the market within the European Union.
The following guidelines apply to these devices:
ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU
PED Directive 2014/68/EU
EMC Directive 2014/30/EU for integrated electronical angle-of-rotation
sensor PL110x
You find the complete EU Declaration of Conformity (document no. KE_009, KE_015 or
KE_017) at www.labom.com.
1.4 ATEX Approval
If you purchased a device with ATEX approval, please refer to the accompanying docu-
ment XA_005 for ATEX-relevant information.
2 Transportation and Storage
Store and transport the device only under clean and dry conditions preferably in the origi-
nal packaging. Avoid exposure to shocks and excessive vibrations.
Permissible storage temperature: -40…70 °C
S3 models with housing packing
Permissible storage temperature: -20…60 °C

3 Installation and Commissioning
Ensure that the device is suitable for the intended application with respect to pressure
range, overpressure limit, media compatibility, temperature range and process connection.
3.1 Mechanical Installation
Use gaskets, if required, that are suitable for the process connection and resistant to the
media.
Before starting operation, check the process connection carefully for leaks under pressure.
Install safety pressure gauges in the line with DIN EN 837-1 S1 and S3 so that the exhaust
equipment can freely discharge to the rear in the event of a fault or malfunction. Provide
for corresponding openings if mounting the unit on the wall.
Use the spanner flats to screw in the device.
Measuring devices where oil or grease residues in the measuring element are not permit-
ted are marked on the scale with the oil can icon.
Measuring devices for use with oxygen are marked on the scale with the oil can icon
and the word “oxygen” directly below this.
Use the vent valve (balance to atmospheric pressure,
see figure 1) to vent the case after installation of meas-
uring gauges filled with liquid with a display range ≤10
bar.
Figure 1: Vent valve
Vent the device in line with the instructions stated on the case:
Either: Open the vent valve as far as possible before operation (see figure 2).
Or: Cut the vent valve before operation (see figure 3).
Figure 2: Pull valve Figure 3: Cut valve
4 Operation
During operation, take care that the device remains within its intended pressure and tem-
perature ranges. No other monitoring is necessary.
The permissible ambient and media temperature depends on the type of device and its
design. This information can be found in the relevant data sheet.

4.1 Zero-point correction
Small measuring errors or deviations
caused by difference in level between pres-
sure gauge and point of measurement can
be corrected on measuring devices with
micro control position pointers. To do so
turn the adjusting screw on the pointer hub
(see picture ).
Similarly, a displacement of the zero point
caused by use and long service life can be
corrected if necessary.
Picture 4: Zero-point correction
4.2 Devices with Diaphragm Seal
Remove the protective cap or protective wrapping from the diaphragm only just before installation
to prevent contamination or damage.
The diaphragm must not be touched. Do not place the device on its diaphragm. Even small
scratches or deformations may negatively influence the zero point or other characteristics of the
device.
Pressure transmitter and diaphragm seal are a closed system that must not be separated.
You can find further information about diaphragm seals in the document TA_031 on
www.labom.com .
4.3 Maintenance / Service
When properly installed in accordance with applicable specifications, this device is maintenance-
free. However, we recommend an annual recalibration of the device.
In the event of any damage or defect the customer cannot replace or repair any components or
assemblies.
5 Disassembly
When measuring hot media, make sure that the device has cooled down prior to any dismounting
or wear appropriate protective clothing to avoid burns.
Warning
Opening pressurized lines might cause severe injuries.
Danger of severe injuries or damage
Relieve the process pressure before attempting
to remove the device. Shut off
the pressure supply for all feed lines to the device and relieve the pressure in
them.
Warning
Hazardous deposits and residues might remain on opened process connec
tions and
removed devices.
Danger of injury

After the device has been removed, seal off the measuring point and mark the
open process connection accordingly. Consider a possible danger due to resi-
dues when handling the removed device.
