WARNING!
■ Select the appropriate pressure transducer with regard to scale range, performance and specific measure-
ment conditions prior to installing and starting the instrument.
■ Consider the relevant national regulations (e.g.: EN/IEC 60079-14) and observe the applicable standards
and directives for special applications (e.g. with dangerous media such as acetylene, flammable gases or
liquids and toxic gases or liquids and with compressors). Non-observance can result in serious injury and/or
damage to equipment.
