WARNING!
Before installation, commissioning and operation, ensure that the
appropriate instrument has been selected in terms of measuring
range, design and specific measuring conditions.
Check the compatibility with the medium of the materials subjec-
„
ted to pressure!
In order to guarantee the measurement accuracy and long-term
„
stability specified, the corresponding load limits must be obser-
ved.
▶
Non-observance can result in serious injury and/or damage to
property.
Further important safety instructions can be found in the individual
chapters of these operating instructions.

2.1 Intended use

These pressure gauges are used for measuring pressure in hazardous areas of
industrial applications.
Classification per European pressure equipment directive
Instrument type: Pressure accessory without safety function
„
Media: Liquid or gaseous, group 1 (hazardous)
„
For maximum allowable pressure PS, see chapter 2.6 "Labelling / safety marks"
