General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The pressure transducer corresponds to the state of the art and is failsafe.
The device may give rise to remaining dangers if it is inappropriately installed and oper­
ated by untrained personnel.
Any person instructed to carry out installation, commissioning, maintenance or repair of
the device must have read and understood the Operating Manual and in particular the
technical safety instructions.
Accident prevention
You must make sure that the line is not under pressure when installing or removing the
pressure transducer.
Conversions and modifications
The pressure transducer must not be modified from the design or safety engineering
point of view except with our express agreement. Any modification shall exclude all liabil­
ity on our part for any damage resulting therefrom.
Qualified personnel
The pressure transducer is only to be installed and used by qualified personnel, strictly in
accordance with the specifications and with the safety rules and regulations which fol­
low. It is also essential to comply with the legal and safety requirements for the applica­
tion concerned during use. The same applies to the use of accessories.
Qualified personnel means persons entrusted with the installation, assembly, commis­
sioning and operation of the product, who possess the appropriate qualifications for their
function.
Once the pressure device has been mounted, it must be tested.
The manometers themselves are not systems that need monitoring, but if necessary,
recurrent testing can be carried out by competent personnel (bP) as per §10 of the Euro­
pean Health and Safety at Work Act (BetrSichV).
Recalibration and repair
When you send the transducer back to HBM for calibration or repair, please specify which
pressure medium is being used. It is always possible that residual medium could be
trapped in the measurement aperture. We need this information so that we can take
appropriate action and choose the correct cleaning agent, where necessary. If we do not
know the media, we may have to refuse to calibrate or repair.
Remaining dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer covers only a small area of mea­
surement technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and operators should
