WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the
environment caused by components blowing out in the
event of a failure
In the event of a failure, the blow-out plug is ejected from the
EN
blow-out device. Due to the high energy of the components
blown out in the event of a failure and the media that can
subsequently escape, the possibility of physical injuries and
damage to property exists.

5.1 Requirements for the installation point
If the line to the measuring instrument is not adequately stable, an
„
instrument mounting bracket should be used for fastening.
If vibrations cannot be avoided by means of suitable installation,
„
instruments with case filling should be used.
For outdoor applications, the selected installation location has to be
„
suitable for the specified ingress protection, so that the instrument is
not exposed to impermissible weather conditions.
In order to avoid any additional heating, the instruments must not be
„
exposed to direct solar irradiation while in operation!
To ensure that the pressure can be safely vented in the case of failure,
„
instruments with blow-out device must keep a minimum distance of
20 mm from each object.
5.2 Mounting
After unpacking the instrument, a visual inspection for damage (e. g.
„
pointer, threads, sealing face, pressure port) must be carried out.
Depending on the application, the instrument should be filled with the
„
medium before screwing in, in order to ensure it functions properly.

It must be ensured that at no time can personnel or objects
be at the rear of the instrument.
