2 SAFETY

2.1 General sources of hazards

Pressure gauges are pressurized parts where failure can result

in hazardous situations. The selection of pressure gauge should

be made in accordance with the rules set out in EN

2.2 Use in accordance with intended purpose

The devices are only to be used for the intended purpose as

described by the manufacturer. The devices are used for direct

display of differential pressure.

The integrated switching elements are magnetic spring

contacts or inductive proximity switches with a groove design,

supplied by isolating switch amplifiers. If the set limit values are

exceeded, the output circuits are opened or closed.

For each use scenario, the corresponding set-up regulations

must be respected. The use in explosion risk areas is not

permitted.

2.3 Operator's responsibility

Safety instructions for proper operation of the device must be

respected. They are to be provided by the operator for use by

the respective personnel for installation, servicing, inspection

and operation. Risks from electrical energy and from the

released energy of the medium, from escaping media and from

improper connection of the device must be eliminated. The

details for this are to be found in the corresponding applicable

set of regulations, such as DIN EN, UVV (accident prevention

regulations) and in sector-specific instances of use (DVWG,

Ex-. GL, etc.) the VDE guidelines and the regulations supplied

by local utilities companies. The device must be taken out of

service and secured against inadvertently being restarted, if

the presumption is that risk-free operation is no longer possible

(see Chapter 10: Faults). Altering the gauge by the customer is

not permitted. This also applies to installation of spare parts.

Possible conversions or alterations may only be carried out

by the manufacturer. The operational safety of the device is

only guaranteed when it is used for its intended purpose. The

specification of the device must be adapted to the medium

used in the plant. The limit values indicated in the technical

data must not be exceeded. The safety information detailed in

All sales subject to standard terms and conditions of sale. F5509_gauge_im1.0, Rev. A, 08/18

this Operating Manual, existing national regulations for accident

prevention, and the operator's internal regulations regarding

working, operations and safety must be respected. The

operator is responsible for all specified servicing, inspection

and installation works being carried out by authorized and

qualified specialists.

2.4 Installation recommendations

The gauge may only be installed and started up by specialist

staff who are familiar with installation, start-up and operation of

the product. Specialist staff are people who are able to assess

the work assigned to them on the basis of their specialist

training, their knowledge and experience and their knowledge

of the relevant standards, and can identify possible risks.

2.5 Signs/Safety markings

The pressure gauge and its surrounding packaging carry

markings. These markings show the article number,

measurement range, maximum static pressure, maximum

overload and manufacturer. The pressure gauge can be

provided with additional signs and safety markings advising on

special conditions:

• Advice on the filling liquid

• Advice on calibration

• Oil-can deleted (if oxygen is used)

837-2.

2.6 Safety equipment

This device is fitted with a (S3) solid front and rear wall (F6509)

or (S1) blow plug (F5509) according DIN 16003, capable of

being blown out. For the description, please refer to Chapter

5.3.4. The window uses multi-layer safety glass.

2.7 Environmental protection

This device may optionally contain a filling liquid (e.g. glycerin

or silicone oil). The provisions set out in the REACH regulation

on production and use of chemicals are to be respected, and

the relevant safety data sheets from the manufacturers of the

chemicals are available on our website for download. Electric

contacts are offered as a gauge option. The provisions set out

in the WEEE regulation EU directive 2012/19/EC on electrical

and electronically equipment are to be respected, and the

products are registered at the EAR under the number DE

26646349.

3 Technical data

The detailed technical information can be found in the

documents in the Appendix, Chapter 11.

4 Labeling on the device

The label with the serial number, type designation and process/

ambient temperature range is located on the outside of

the housing. The materials identifier is encoded in the type

designation.
