4. Design and function
4.1 Description
By means of a sensor element and by applying power, the prevailing pressure is converted into an amplified standar-
EN
dised electrical signal via the deformation of a membrane. This electrical signal varies in proportion to the pressure and
can be evaluated accordingly.
4.2 Scope of delivery
Cross-check scope of delivery with delivery note.
5. Transport, packaging and storage
5.1 Transport
Check the pressure sensor for any damage that may have been caused during transportation.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
A recieved-goods inspection determines the purity of the pressure sensor. It is only guaranteed if the packaging is
undamaged or unopened.
5.2 Packaging
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change in installation site, sending for
repair).
5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature: -25 ... +80 °C
■
Humidity: 15 ... 95 % (no condensation)
■
Only ever store the pressure sensor in its original packaging.
WARNING!
Before storing the pressure sensor (following operation), remove any residual media. This is of particular
importance if the medium is hazardous to health, e.g. caustic, toxic, carcinogenic, radioactive, etc.
