6.1 Making the mechanical connection
Required tool: Open-ended spanner (spanner width 27 or 41)
With flush process connections, remove the protection cap not until shortly
■
before mounting. During installation, ensure that the diaphragm is not
damaged.
During mounting, make sure that the sealing faces at the pressure
■
transmitter and the measuring point are clean and undamaged.
Only ever screw in, or unscrew, the instrument via the spanner flats. Never
■
use the case as a working surface.
The correct torque depends on the dimensions of the process connection
■
and the sealing used (form/material).
When screwing in, avoid any jamming of the threads.
