High-end sensors

Intended use

The pressure sensor was developed to monitor the pres-
sure of gases or fluids compatible with stainless steel,
ceramics and fluoroelastomers. Pressure sensors are
suited to different types of application depending on the
device and mechanical connection.
The pressure sensor is installed in a machine or
integrated into a system. Flawless function in accordance
with the specifications in the technical data is ensured only
when using original BALLUFF accessories, and use of any
other components will void the warranty.
Modifications to the sensor or non-approved use are not
permitted and will result in loss of warranty and void any
liability claims against the manufacturer.

Safety instructions

Before commissioning, read the user's guide
carefully!
These sensors must not be used in applications
in which the safety of persons is dependent on
the function of the device (not a safety compo-
nent acc. to EU Machinery Directive).
Installation and startup are to be performed only by
trained specialists.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that local safety
regulations are observed.
In particular, the operator must take measures to ensure
that a defect in the object detection system will not result
in hazards to persons or equipment.
If defects or non-clearable faults in the sensor occur, take it
out of service and secure against unauthorized use.

Installation
Attention!
The pressure sensor may not be exposed to
high temperatures or rapid increases in pressure
that extend beyond specific limits (see Technical
Data for limit values).
– Always depressurize and disconnect pressure sensors
from the power supply before mounting!
– Observe the following when mounting outdoors or in a
damp environment:
Select a mounting location that allows splash and
condensation water to drain away. Fluids must not be
allowed to accumulate on sealing surfaces!
Connect the device to the power supply immediately
after mounting to prevent moisture from entering the
connector. Otherwise fit a suitable protective cap to
prevent the ingress of moisture. The degree of protec-
tion specified on the data sheet only applies if the
device is connected!
If there is a danger of damage from lightning strikes or
excess voltage, mount an overvoltage protection
between the power supply unit or switching cabinet
and the device.
– On hydraulic systems, position the device so that the
pressure connection faces upwards (depressurization).
– If the device is mounted on a steam pipeline, install a
cooling section.
– Mount the device in a location protected from direct
sunlight. Sunlight can damage or affect the functional
capability of the device.
– When installing devices with a relative reference in the
housing (no borehole next to the electrical connection),
make sure that the relative reference required for the
measurement is protected against dirt and moisture. If
the device is exposed to fluids, the relative reference
blocks the air pressure compensator. Accurate
measurements are not possible when this happens.
and the device may be damaged.
– No mechanical tension should be placed on the pres-
sure connection during installation as this may displace
the characteristic curve. This applies in particular to
extremely small pressure ranges and devices with a
plastic pressure connection.
