Purpose
Overview
Depending on the version, a transmitter measures corrosive, non-corrosive and hazardous gases, vapors and liquids.
You can use the transmitter for the following types of measurement:
● Gauge pressure
● Absolute pressure
With appropriate parameter settings and the necessary add-on parts (e.g. flow orifices and remote seals), the pressure
transmitter can also be used for the following measurements:
● Level
● Volume
● Mass
The output signal is a load-independent direct current of 4 to 20 mA which is linearly proportional to the input pressure.
The "Intrinsically-safe" version of the transmitter can be installed in hazardous areas (zone 1). The devices have an EC type
examination certificate and comply with the appropriate harmonized European CENELEC directives.
Operate the device in accordance with the specifications in Section Technical data (Page 25).
For additional information, please refer to the operating instructions for the device.
Checking the consignment
1. Check the packaging and the device for visible damage caused by inappropriate handling during shipping.
2. Report any claims for damages immediately to the shipping company.
3. Retain damaged parts for clarification.
4. Check the scope of delivery by comparing the shipping documents with your order for correctness and completeness.

cancels the manufacturer's warranty and the product approvals.
Requirements for special applications
Due to the large number of possible applications, each detail of the described device versions for each possible scenario
during commissioning, operation, maintenance or operation in systems cannot be considered in the instructions. If you need
additional information not covered by these instructions, contact your local Siemens office or company representative.
Note
Operation under special ambient conditions
We highly recommend that you contact your Siemens representative or our application department before you operate the
device under special ambient conditions as can be encountered in nuclear power plants or when the device is used for
research and development purposes.
Use in hazardous areas
Qualified personnel for hazardous area applications
Persons who install, assemble, commission, operate and service the device in a hazardous area must have the following
specific qualifications:

WARNING
Loss of safety of device with type of protection "Intrinsic safety Ex i"
If the device has already been operated in non-intrinsically safe circuits or the electrical specifications have not been
observed, the safety of the device is no longer ensured for use in hazardous areas. There is a danger of explosion.
● Connect the device with type of protection "Intrinsic safety" solely to an intrinsically safe circuit.
● Observe the specifications for the electrical data in the certificate and in Technical data (Page 25).
WARNING
Risk of explosion due to electrostatic charge
To prevent the build-up of an electrostatic charge in a hazardous area, the key cover must be closed during operation and
the screws tightened.
The key cover may be opened temporarily at any time for the purposes of operating the transmitter, even during plant
operation; the screws should then be tightened again.
Installing/mounting
Basic safety instructions
WARNING
Wetted parts unsuitable for the process media
Danger of injury or damage to device.
Hot, toxic and corrosive media could be released if the process medium is unsuitable for the wetted parts.
● Ensure that the material of the device parts wetted by the process medium is suitable for the medium. Refer to the
information in "Technical data" (Page 25).
WARNING
Incorrect material for the diaphragm in Zone 0
Danger of explosion in the hazardous area. In the case of operation with intrinsically safe supply units of category "ib" or
devices of the flameproof enclosure version "Ex d" and simultaneous use in Zone 0, transmitter explosion protection
depends on the tightness of the diaphragm.
● Ensure that the material used for the diaphragm is suitable for the process medium. Refer to the information in the
section "Technical data (Page 25)".
WARNING
Unsuitable connecting parts
Danger of injury or poisoning.
In case of improper mounting hot, toxic and corrosive process media could be released at the connections.
● Ensure that connecting parts (such as flange gaskets and bolts) are suitable for connection and process media.
Note
Material compatibility
Siemens can provide you with support concerning selection of sensor components wetted by process media. However, you
are responsible for the selection of components. Siemens accepts no liability for faults or failures resulting from incompatible
materials.
