Start-up and Calibration
WARNING
Ensure that the calibration cover is removed after calibration is com-
plete. This cover is intended to block the flow of ambient air into the sen-
sor during calibration, and in normal operation must ALWAYS be
removed. MISUSE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF
LIFE.
For applications where access to the HART signal is needed in hazardous areas,
MSA provides the HART Module as shown in Fig. 17
