●The unit has been accredited with protection class IP 40. Take necessary measures
when installing into ambient conditions, which afford other protection classes.
●Consider possible reactions between the materials and the process media.
●Consider possible reactions of the process media due to the heat generated by the
product.
●Do not modify or alter the unit yourself.
●Note the shipping instructions, when returning the unit.
●Inform yourself about a possible contamination before starting work.
●Adhere to the relevant regulations and take the necessary precautions, when handling
contaminated parts.

2.2 Proper use
●Only use the TPR 270, TPR 271 gauges for measuring total pressures in the
1 • 10-4 ... 1000 hPa range.
●Only use the gauge TPR 270 for air, inert gases and gas mixtures outside their explo-
sion limits.
Because of its material, the TPR 271 gauge can also be used for corrosive gases and
gas mixtures outside their explosion limits, if the materials with media contact specified
in the technical data are not attacked by these gases and gas mixtures.
2.3 Improper use
Improper use will cause all claims for liability and warranties to be forfeited. Improper use
is defined as usage for purposes deviating from those mentioned above, especially:
●operation in potentially explosive areas
●pumping of explosive media
●connection to pumps or units which are not suitable for this purpose according to their
operating instructions
●connection to units which have exposed voltage-carrying parts
●operation of the devices in areas with ionizing radiation
