plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering considerations of pressure mea
surement technology in such a way as to minimize remaining dangers. Prevailing regula
tions must be complied with at all times. There must be reference to the remaining dan
gers associated with pressure measurement technology.
Although the transducer is designed for maximum safety, safety engineering regulations
demand that burst protection is implemented around the transducer. This is particularly
important for frequent or dynamic loading.
The transducer must be protected against mechanical stresses or knocks. The resis
tance of the steel of the measuring body only applies if temperatures are never allowed
to fall below or rise above the limits specified in the data sheet. If these temperature lim
its are exceeded, in the event of fire, for example, the transducer will be unusable.
If, during operation the zero signal changes by more than 5% (with no change in the ambi
ent conditions), the user should check the transducer to make sure that it is not being
overloaded (and causing the transducer characteristic to vary).
