WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment caused
by hazardous media
Upon contact with hazardous media (e.g. oxygen, acetylene, flammable
or toxic substances), harmful media (e.g. corrosive, toxic, carcinogenic,
radioactive), and also with refrigeration plants and compressors, there is a
danger of physical injuries and damage to property and the environment.
Should a failure occur, aggressive media with extremely high temperature
and under high pressure or vacuum may be present at the instrument.
▶ For these media, in addition to all standard regulations, the appropriate
existing codes or regulations must also be followed.
▶ Wear the requisite protective equipment

5.1 Mounting at the process connection

When unpacking, check all components for any external damage.
■
Ensure that all unused connections are closed. Plug screws for vent connections are
■
included in delivery, though not prefitted.
The EMICOgauge must only be carried by the valve body, and not by the valve handles
■
nor the pressure gauge case.
Check the product marking for correctness (see chapter 3.6 "Labelling, safety marking").
■
Before mounting, ensure that the process line has been depressurised using the main
■
valve.
Remove the protective cap of the process connection.
■
Ensure that the sealing faces are clean and do not show any mechanical damage.
■
The correct sealing element must be used for the respective connection.
■
Threaded connection
To screw in threaded connections the appropriate tool must only be applied through the
spanner flats provided for this purpose.
The tightening torque is dependent on the process connection and sealing element used.
Flange connection
The flange standard (e.g. ANSI B16.5 or EN 1092-1) for mating flanges and mounting
elements (sealings and stud bolts) must match the EMICOgauge supplied. Before
mounting, the mating flanges and mounting elements must be checked for correct size and
nominal pressure rating.
