5.1 Mounting preparation
To protect the pressure gauge from mechanical damage keep it in
the outer carton until installation.
The gauge should only be removed form the sterile packaging
shortly before mounting at the measuring point.
With CIP (cleaning in place) we recommend to clean the pressure
gauge again after mounting, using the process established at the
operator's site.
With COP (cleaning out of place) we recommend to clean the
pressure gauge again before mounting, using the process estab-
lished at the operator's site.
On removal from the packaging, and during mounting, particular
care must be taken to avoid damage and any mechanical defor-
mation to the diaphragm.
Model PG43SA-S only: Check the zero point. In case of a zero
offset, carry out a zero adjustment. See chapter 5.6 "Zero adjust-
ment".
5.2 Installation
Do not damage the diaphragm; scratches on the diaphragm (e.g.
from sharp-edged objects) are the main causes of corrosion.
For sealing, choose appropriate seals.
For flange mounting, only use sealings with a sufficiently large
inner diameter and centre them; contact with the diaphragm leads
to measuring errors.
