General safety instructions
WARNING
Explosion hazard through building up of electrostatic charges
To prevent electrostatic charges building up in a hazardous environment, the key cover must be closed during operation
and the screws must be tightened.
Temporary opening of the key cover for purposes of operating the measuring transducer may be performed at any time,
even during operation; after which the screws should be tightened again.
Return procedure
Attach the bill of lading, return document and decontamination certificate in a firmly affixed clear plastic pouch on the outside
of the packaging. Any devices/replacement parts which are returned without a decontamination declaration will be cleaned
at your cost before further processing. For further details refer to the operating instructions.

Install
Safety notes for installation
You can install the transmitter in different areas of application.
Depending on the area of application and the system configuration, there may be differences in the installation.
For all devices
WARNING
Destruction of device
If external loads act on the device, it could be destroyed. In the worst case, process medium could escape.
It is therefore essential to prevent external loads from acting on the device.
WARNING
Protection against incorrect use of the measuring instrument
Make sure that the selected materials for the wetted parts of the measuring instrument are suitable for the process media
used in order to ensure both the safety of the personnel and the device.
Use the device only within the measuring spans for pressure, overload pressure limits and voltage limits specified on the
nameplate. Otherwise, hot and toxic media may leak and lead to personal injury.
CAUTION
Risk of burns
Install additional touch protection for surface temperatures > 70 °C.
The touch protection must be designed in such a way that the maximum permissible ambient temperature at the device is
not exceeded.
The permissible ambient temperatures for the device can be found in the technical data or on the nameplate.
CAUTION
Risk of injury
Install the device such that automatic emptying is ensured and the entire process medium is drained. Otherwise, the
residual process media may cause damage.
For example, do not install the device at the bottom of the tank, install it on its side, instead.

CAUTION
Improper installation or modification can damage the device and thus invalidate the approval.
Do not modify the device. In particular, use the cable entries, which are certified for the corresponding approval, for the
cable connection.
NOTICE
The electrical terminal compartment may only be opened for installation, to make electrical connections, or for
maintenance.
NOTICE
If the device is partially or completely open, the degree of protection specified in the technical data is no longer guaranteed.
Mount the device as specified. The properties associated with the degree of protection are not guaranteed unless the
device is properly mounted.
General explosion protection
WARNING
Use
You may only use this device in combustible and/or hazardous areas if it is marked for this use.
Special explosion protection
WARNING
Flame penetration distances
Following device installation, all flame penetration distances must have a clearance of at least 30 mm from stationary parts
that are not part of the device. Otherwise, the safety of the flameproof device is not guaranteed.
WARNING
For operation in Zone 0
The transmitter corresponds to category 1/2 and may be installed in Zone 0.
The EC-type examination certificate applies to installation of the device in the walls of containers and pipelines in which
explosive gas/air or vapor/air mixtures occur only under atmospheric conditions; for pressure: 0.8 to 1.1 bar (11.6 to
19.9 psi); temperature: -20 to +60 °C (-4 to +140 °F)
The permissible ambient temperature range for the transmitter is: see nameplate or technical data.
The operator may use the device under non-atmospheric conditions outside the limits specified in the EC-type examination
certificate (or the certification applicable in the country of use) at the operator's own risk if safety measures which may be
necessary in accordance with use conditions (explosive mixture) have been taken.
Make sure to comply with the limit values specified in the general technical data in all cases.
The installation must be sufficiently tight (IP67 according to EN 60529). For instance, an industry standard (e.g. DIN, NPT)
threaded connector is suitable for the IP67 degree of protection.

Installation (except level)
Assembly
Fastening without the mounting bracket
You can fasten the transmitter directly on both pressure caps.
Fastening with the mounting bracket
You can use a tube clamp to fasten the mounting bracket to a horizontal or vertical mounting tube of diameter 50 mm (2 ").
Alternatively you can attach the mounting bracket to the wall.
Fasten the transmitter mounting bracket using the four screws provided.

"Level" installation
Installation for level
Note
Seals are required for the installation. The seals must be compatible with the medium to be measured.
Seals are not included in the delivery.
Procedure
To install the transmitter for level, proceed as follows:
1. Attach the seal to the container's mating flange.
Ensure that the seal is centrically positioned and that it does not restrict the movement of the flange's seal diaphragm in
any way as otherwise the tightness of the process connection is not guaranteed.
2. Screw on the transmitter's flange.
3. Observe the installation position.
Connection of the negative pressure line to the closed vessel
When taking measurements in a closed container without or with little condensation formation, the negative pressure line is
not filled.

Measurement assembly on a closed container:
no or little condensation separation
When taking measurements in a closed container with strong condensation formation, you must fill the negative pressure
line (mostly with the condensation of the measured medium) and install a condensation pot.
For measurement on open vessels there is no need to connect the minus pipework, since the minus side is open to the
atmosphere.

Connecting
Safety notes for connection
For all devices
WARNING
If auxiliary power is required, check that it corresponds with that on the nameplate and with the test certification valid for
your country.
CAUTION
Incorrect measurement values due to incorrect grounding
It is not permissible to ground the device using the "+" connection. This can lead to malfunctions with permanent damage
to the device.
● If necessary, ground the device using the "-" connection.
General explosion protection
WARNING
Risk of explosion
Non-compliance with the stipulations and laws during connection and installation increases the risk of explosion due to
improper use.
When connecting and installing, follow only the test certifications, stipulations and laws applicable in your country in order
to avoid the risk of explosion.
For example, for hazardous areas these are:
● IEC 60079-14 (international)
● National Electrical Code (NEC - NFPA 70) (USA)
● Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) (Canada)
● EN 60079-14 (earlier VDE 0165, T1) (EU)
● Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (Germany)
WARNING
Explosion protection
Connect the device to the equipotential bonding.
Free cable ends are not permitted in hazardous areas. Use suitable protection types, e.g., flameproof enclosure Ex "d" or
increased safety Ex "e", to protect the free cable ends.
For shielded cables in hazardous areas, note that only end is permitted to be grounded. Install a potential equalising cable
if grounding on both ends is required.
WARNING
Cable glands
The cables must be matched to the cable glands. If you use the cable glands M20 x 1.5 and ½-14" NPT, which can be
ordered separately, only the cables having a diameter of 6 to 12 mm must be laid into the device.
After installation, make sure that the cables are positioned securely and that the seals are in the correct position.
Type of protection "nA", "nL", "ic"
In the case of devices with type of protection "nA", "nL" and "ic" (Zone 2), only use cables having a diameter of 8 to 12 mm
owing to the required tensile strength, or use a suitable cable gland in case of smaller diameters.
