3.1 Caution for delivery and storage
Caution
1. During delivery, avoid addition of vibration to the product as possible. Be sure to avoid hitting the
product on the wall and dropping the product.
*Failure to follow this notice may make the product unusable.
2. Store the product on the place where there are few dust, vibration, humidity. Also, select a place with
less temperature change as possible because the product can form dew in a place with large
temperature change.
3.2 Warning and caution for installation
Warning
1. If the product is used on a line with high frequency of pressure fluctuation, it will cause the product
malfunction. Please take measures before applying pressure fluctuation directly to the pressure
gauge.

Caution
1. Install the product so that scale plate is vertical.
* If not vertical, accidental error can be made.
2. In case of liquid measurement, if there is head difference between pressure pick-up port and
pressure gauge, accuracy is influenced. For example, to measure water pressure, if installing
pressure gauge of pressure range 0 to 0.1 MPa on the place of 1 m higher than pressure pick-up
port, reading is the value of actual pressure minus 0.01 MPa. This difference is equivalent to 10% of
all scale range (Fig. 4). Conversely, if installing pressure gauge of pressure range 0 to 0.1 MPa on
the place of 1 m lower than pressure pick-up port, reading is the value of actual pressure plus 10%
(Fig. 5).
3. Avoid using the product at place where it is exposed to high temperature. If necessary, prevent the
product from being exposed to heat directly by using closure plate, etc.
4. If the fluid temperature to measure exceeds the max. temperature, mount a siphon tube to the product
to reduce the fluid temperature. Be sure to inject water to the siphon tube to protect the product.
5. Avoid using the product at place where much vibration occurs.
6. If fluid has pulsation, use dampener to install the product. To adjust dampener, close it fully at once,
then adjust it by opening little by little. In this case, do not tighten the product enough to stop pointer
swinging completely. Adjust to the extent that pointer swing remains slightly.
7. To install the product, be sure to apply appropriate tool such as spanner to hexagonal part and
tighten it. Be sure to avoid screwing the product with holding the product case.
8. Before installing the product, be sure to remove foreign substances and scale from the piping.
During installation, prevent foreign substances flowing into the piping, such as packing, seal tape,
liquid seal agent, etc.
* Commingling of foreign substance or scale into the product prevents the product from functioning
properly.

Warning
1. Do not apply pressure more than maximum pressure to the product.
* If bourdon tube is broken, it may lead to injury or damage to the surroundings.
2. Use the product within usable temperature range.
* If using the product out of usable temperature range, the product may be broken and lead to injury
of damage to the surroundings
3. Do not use the product for the fluid with corrosive property for the wetted part material of the product.
* If bourdon tube is broken due to corrosion, it may lead to human injury or damages to the
surroundings.

5.2 Warning and caution for maintenance and inspection
Warning
1. To remove the product, be sure to make pressure zero (atmospheric pressure) and then remove
the product carefully.
* Failure to follow this notice may make blowout of internal fluid and lead to scalds or injury.
2. If fluid is in high temperature, do not touch the product directly with bare hands.
* Failure to follow this notice may lead to scalds or injury.
3. If glass crack or deterioration is found, be sure to replace the product with new one.
Caution
1. Regardless of regulation by law, conduct maintenance and inspection once or more per year
periodically.
* Remove the product from the site and check it with pressure standards.
2. The product cannot be repaired or calibrated. If abnormality is found, replace the product with new
one.
