1. Important information
A careful reading of this instruction manual is strongly recommended before installation and use of the
instrument.
This manual must be stored in a safe and easily accessible place.
To operate in safe conditions, this instrument should be selected according to the intended application and should be
properly installed according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
The operators in charge of the instrument selection, installation and maintenance should be able to recognize what
conditions may affect the instrument functioning and that may lead to premature damage or failure
of it.
Plants regulations procedures need to be carried out by qualified operators. If used unproperly, the
instrument may damage and may be dangerous to operators and plant. In order to select the right
instrument, all products details can be found on the most updated edition of the general products

2. Safety Instructions
- The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility in case of damages caused by the improper use of
the product and by the non-respect of the instructions reported in this manual.
- Follow carefully the specific safety rules if measuring oxygen pressure, acetylene, inflammable or
toxic gas or liquids.
- Disconnect the instruments only after depressurization of the system.
- The process fluids residuals remaining in the disassembled instrument components could affect
people, the environment and the system. Proper precautions are highly recommended.
- Before installation be sure that the right instrument has been selected according to the working
conditions and in particular the range, the working temperature and the compatibility between the
material used and the process fluid.
- This manual does not concern the instruments conforming to standard 2014/34/EU (ATEX).
- The product warranty is no longer valid in case of non-authorized modifications and unproper use
of the product.
- The user is totally responsible for the instrument installation and maintenance.
- Instruments employed for measuring toxic or inflammable fluids, should be handled and stored
with extreme care.

The pressure transmitter turns the input pressure into an output electrical signal. The electrical signal changes
according to the input pressure level.

The transmitter metal case should always be connected to ground through the process connection thread in order to
protect it from disturbances due to electromagnetic fields or electrostatic charges.
If this procedure cannot be performed, the transmitter should be connected to the ground through the connector and
the cable screen.
5. Installation
- Before installing an electric safety equipment into a plant or a system, the user should verify that the instrument is
suitable to the plant characteristics and that it is installed correctly. After installation procedure is finalized, the user
should verify that the instrument is not exposed to any source of heat that may exceed the established ambient limits.
Secure the instrument thread through a special key/wrench on the process connection hexagon without grasping the
case by the hands.
- Secure the instrument thread through a special key/wrench on the process connection hexagon (20…30Nm). The
correct torque depends on the type of process connection and the type of seal used (form and material). If the
connection thread is conical the instrument is tightened through a simple screwing on the plug. In order to improve the
thread tightness, the male thread should be wrapped with a PTFE layer.
- If the instrument is equipped with a fluid diaphragm seal the connection should be clamped on the diaphragm
otherwise the calibration could be compromised.
- The monitoring devices such as rings, clamps, nuts, flanges, seals and O-rings are not generally included in the
supply and are not included in this manual. Seals and O-rings must be chosen from the food industry approved
models.
Instruments showing symbol.
Instruments with a DIN11851 connection should be installed
using special seals such as those produced by Siersema
Komponenten System (S.K.S.) B. V. or seals type ASEPTO-
STAR k-flex produced by Kieselmann GmbH.
Instruments provided with a process connection complying
with the ISO 2853 (IDS/ISS) standards should be installed
using a “T-seal” seal type produced by Combifit
International B.V. In the opposite picture you can see how to
install it correctly in order to ensure a proper instrument
operation and cleanliness. Improper installation may produce

residual media which could speed the corrosion process and affect the cleaning procedure.
Connector Assembling EN 175301-803 Form A
Disassemble the connector as in fig.1 and connect the cable as in fig.2.
Reassemble the connector and fasten it on the transmitter.

The IP grade according to standard CEI EN 60529 is guaranteed only if the female
connector equipped with a connection cable is mounted on the instrument and all
the other components are assembled correctly
6. Recalibration and maintenance
In some models the zero and the full scale range can be adjusted as follows:
S=span
Z=zero
- Connector disassembling (see fig. 1)
- Zero adjustment (Z)
- Span adjustment(S)
The STSA transmitters is “maintenance free”.
