EU Directive 2004/108/EC (EMC Directive) and EMC Law
Generic Standards: EN 61000-6-4 (Emissions), EN 61000-6-2 (Interference Immunity)
Emissions testing: Radio interference emissions EN 55011 Group 1, Class A and B
Validity
This guide is valid for the following pressure transmitters:
– BSP-Bxxx-xx004-xxxxxA-xx
– BSP-Vxxx-xx004-xxxxxA-xx
Intended use
The pressure transmitter has been developed to monitor
the pressure of gases or fluids compatible with stainless
steel, ceramics and fluoroelastomers. Pressure transmit-
ters are suited to different types of application depending
on the device and mechanical connection.
The pressure transmitter is installed in a machine or inte-
grated into a system. Flawless function in accordance with
the specifications in the technical data is ensured only
when using original BALLUFF accessories, and use of any
other components will void the warranty.
Modifications to the transmitter or non-approved use are
not permitted and will result in loss of warranty and void
any liability claims against the manufacturer.

Safety instructions

Before commissioning, read the user's guide
carefully!
These sensors must not be used in applications
in which the safety of persons is dependent on
the function of the device (not a safety compo-
nent acc. to EU Machinery Directive).
Installation and startup are to be performed only by
trained specialists.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that local safety
regulations are observed.
In particular, the operator must take measures to ensure
that a defect in the pressure detection system will not
result in hazards to persons or equipment.
If defects or non-clearable faults in the sensor occur, take it
out of service and secure against unauthorized use.

Installation
Caution!
Do not allow the pressure transmitter to be
exposed to high temperatures or rapid
increases in pressure that extend beyond
specific limits (see Technical Data for limit
values).
– Always depressurize and disconnect pressure trans-
mitters from the power supply before installing!
– Observe the following when installing outdoors or in a
damp environment:
Select a installation location that allows splash and
condensation water to drain away. Fluids must not be
allowed to accumulate on sealing surfaces!
Connect the device to the power supply immediately
after installation to prevent moisture from entering the
connector. Otherwise fit a suitable protective cap to
prevent the ingress of moisture. The degree of protec-
tion specified on the data sheet only applies if the
device is connected!
If there is a risk of damage from lightning or excess
voltage, mount overvoltage protection between the
power supply unit or switching cabinet and device.
– On hydraulic systems, position the device so that the
pressure connection faces upwards (venting).
– If the device is installed on a steam pipeline, provide a
cooling section.
– Mount the device in a location protected from direct
sunlight. Sunlight can damage or affect the functional
capability of the device.
– When installing devices with a gauge reference in the
housing (small hole in the transmitter housing), make
sure that the gauge reference required for the mea-
surement is protected against dirt and moisture. If the
device is exposed to fluids, the gauge reference blocks
the air pressure compensator. Accurate measurements
are not possible when this happens. and the device
may be damaged.
– No mechanical tension should be placed on the pres-
sure connection during installation as this may shift the
characteristic curve. This applies in particular to
extremely small pressure ranges and devices with a
plastic pressure connection.
