5.1.2 Requirements for the mounting point
The existence of strong electromagnetic fields in a frequency range of < 2.7 GHz can result in increased measuring
errors up to 1 % of span. Do not install the instruments in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic sources of interference
(e.g. transmitting devices, radio equipment), or use sheath current filters where applicable.
5.1.3 Mounting the instrument
Maximum tensile force of the FEP cable:
■
350 N without strain relief
500 N with strain relief
Maximum tensile force of the PUR cable:
■
350 N without strain relief
1,000 N with strain relief
The protection cap protects the internal diaphragm from
■
damage during transport and during the lowering of the
probe. Remove the protection cap if the medium is viscous
or contaminated.
Protect the diaphragm from contact with abrasive media
■
and against any impacts.

Prior to commissioning, the instrument must be subjected to a visual inspection.
Leaking fluid is indicative of damage.
With a damaged diaphragm, explosion protection cannot be guaranteed.
