Safety instructions
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
times. There must be reference to the remaining dangers associated with pres
sure measurement technology.
Although the P2V is designed for maximum safety, safety engineering regula
tions demand that burst protection is implemented around the transducer.
The transducer must be protected against mechanical loads or knocks.
The resistance of the steel of the measuring body only applies if temperatures
are never allowed to fall below or rise above the limits specified in the data
sheet.
If these temperature limits are exceeded, in the event of fire, for example, the
transducer will be unusable.
A significant change in the zero signal shows that the device has come to the
end of its service life.
Remaining dangers are indicated in this operating manual by the following
