4. Design and function
4.1
Short description
The prevailing pressure is measured at the sensor element through the deformation
of a diaphragm. By supplying power, this deformation of the diaphragm is converted
into an electrical signal. The output signal from the pressure sensor is amplified and
standardised.

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.
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:
see chapter 3 "Specifications"
Store the pressure sensor in its original packaging in a location that fulfils the
conditions listed above.
WARNING!
Before storing the instrument (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.
