separation into its components is permitted.
The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here, and
may only be used accordingly.
The technical specifications contained in these operating instructions must be observed.
Improper handling or operation of the instrument outside of its technical specifications
requires the instrument to be taken out of service immediately and inspected by an

The most sensitive components are the diaphragm and the capillary. Even minor
damage to these components can result in measurement inaccuracies or even
the complete failure of the measuring system. There is a risk that the system fill
fluid can escape.
