Safety instructions

Appropriate use
The P2V pressure transmitter is to be used exclusively for pressure measure­
ment tasks and directly related control tasks. Use for any purpose other than
the above shall be deemed to be inappropriate.
In the interests of safety, the device should only be operated as described in
the Operating Manual. It is also essential to observe the appropriate legal and
safety regulations for the application concerned during use. The same applies
to the use of accessories.
We hereby declare that this device conforms to the requirements of Pressure
Directive 97/23/EC, the European Parliament and Council Directive of May 29
1997, which approximates the legal provisions of the Member States concern­
ing pressure equipment.
The pressure transmitter is not a safety element within the meaning of its use
as intended. Proper and safe operation of this pressure transmitter requires
proper transportation, correct storage, assembly and mounting and careful
operation.
It is not appropriate for use as an "accessory with a safety function", in
accordance with the regulations and this must be assessed by the user (within
the meaning of Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC) for the particular situ­
ation.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The P2V pressure transmitter corresponds to the state of the art and is
failsafe. The device may give rise to further dangers if it is inappropriately
installed and operated by untrained personnel.
Any person instructed to carry out installation, commissioning, maintenance or
repair of the device must have read and understood the Operating Manual
and in particular the technical safety instructions.
Accident prevention
You must make sure that the line is not under pressure when installing or
removing the pressure transmitter.
Remaining dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer covers only a small
area of measurement technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers
and operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering
considerations of pressure measurement technology in such a way as to min­
imize remaining dangers. Prevailing regulations must be complied with at all
