Installation and Maintenance Instructions for
F5509/F6509 Differential Pressure Gauges
only.
• Use only with the mechanical process connection provided
– regarding the configuration, see order code on the device
type label, with a matching threaded seal.
• When connecting the device, the process piping must be
depressurized.
• The process pipe must be installed on an incline so that:
-for fluid measurement, no air pockets are created
-for gas measurement, no water pockets are created
If the necessary incline is not achieved, then at suitable
points water separators or air separators must be installed.
• The pressure process pipe must be kept as short as possible
and installed without sharp bends, to avoid a delayed
response time.
• The instruments pressure ports are marked by "+" and
"-" symbols: "+" port must be connected to the higher
pressure"-" port must be connected to the lower pressure.
• With liquid measurement media, the pressurized connection
pipe must be degassed, since any gas bubble inclusions
result in measurement error.
• If water is used as the measurement medium, the device
must be frost-protected.
Safety notice: Only mount using the correct
open-jawed wrench, and do not twist the
device itself.
7.3.2 Electrical connection
• Connection to be undertaken by authorized and qualified
specialist staff only.
• The electrical connection of the device is to be undertaken in
accordance with the relevant regulations of the VDE and the
regulations supplied by the local utilities company
• Disconnect the plant from the main supply before wiring
electrical connections.
• Install appropriate fuses upstream.

7.4 Starting up

The precondition for start-up is proper installation of all
electrical feed lines and metering pipes. All connecting lines
must be installed so that no mechanical forces can act on the
device. Before start-up, the seal on the pressurized connection
line must be checked.
7.4.1 Zero point adjustment
The pressure gauges are supplied calibrated at the factory, so
that as a rule there is no need for calibration at the installation
point. For devices with Micrometer pointer (see. order code),
zero pointer adjustment on site is possible. For this, proceed as
follows:
• Equalize pressure in both chambers.
• Check if internal pressure was built up in the case due to
ambient temperature effect. Open valve (position B), wait for
pressure relief and close valve again (position A)
• Lift up on vent plug.
• Use zero pointer adjustment
screw to set the pointer
to zero.
7.4.2 Setting the electric contacts
An adjustable lock is fitted in the front panel of the pressure
gauge. Using the removable adjustment key, the contacts
mounted on the target value indicators can be set to any
point on the range covered by the scale. For reasons relating
to accuracy of switching and the lifetime of mechanical
measurement systems, the switch points should be positioned
between 10% and 90% of the range.

inwards, until the
carrier arm grips
behind the adjuster
pin on the target
value indicator.
• By turning the key,
adjust the target
value indicator to
the desired switch
point.
• Mount vent plug
Filled Models need to be vented before
commissioning by opening the air valve
on the upper side of instrument!
