 Cleaning and maintenance
There is no need cleaning the pressure transmitter. However, in order to avoid any damage, 
please do not direct high pressure cleaning “jets 
of water” directly at the diaphragm. In particular, 
never clean the diaphragm with tools or other 
mechanical objects. Do not insert hard objects 
into the pressure gauge opening.
Operation / procedure in case of 
malfunction
The admissible range acc. to technical datasheet must be respected in any case. 
In case of malfunction, please check the following points :
– Check the data on the label plate and compare 
with the installed confi guration. 
– Check wiring. 
– Check the power supply and load. 
– Check if the diaphragm is ok or damage. 
– Check the possibilities of EMC infl uences.

Installation and 
Operating Instructions
E-2004-05-01
 

Thank you for having chosen our product. These 
instructions should allow you an easy installation. Please study this documentation carefully 
and retain for further reference. Information 
about the materials used and general technical 
data can be obtained from the relevant technical 
data sheet.
1. General points
This pressure transmitter is a precision measuring device. The highly sensitive diaphragm is 
protected with a cap which should only be removed just prior to the installation. Take special 
care to avoid abrasive media, solid bodies and 
other mechanical damage (thumb-mark). 
Please follow these instructions carefully so 
that the pressure transmitter works perfectly. 
The admissible storage temperature is –10 °C ... 
+100 °C (dry air). 
The pressure transmitter corresponds – under 
the condition that the installation has been 
properly effected – to the EMC standards EN 
50081-1 and 2, as well as EN 50082-2 and EN 
61326.
2. Installation / Removal
2.1 Pressure transmitter with thread
Screw the pressure transmitter in the corresponding threaded hole and tighten with the 
following torque :
Pressure range (bar)  Torque (Nm) 
0,1 – 10  30
It is advisable to grease the threads lightly 
with a molybdenum disulfi de grease such as 
Molykote or Molymagus. In food applications, 
use Vaseline.
2.2
Do not install the pressure transmitter close to 
any fast closing valves or pumps (for example in 
hydraulic systems), however the sensitive sensor is protected against pressure peaks. 
Before removals, make sure that the tube carrying the medium is completely de pres su rized.
Attention: Serious injury can result if the line is 
still pressurized! 
After removal, the diaphragm resp. the pressure 
connection, must be protected with the original 
cap immediately.
3. Electrical connection
We recommend a shielded cable in order to 
obtain the best possible EMC pro tec tion. The 
shield has to be connected to the GND of the 
plug. In addition, we rec om mend not to install 
the cable in a chan nel where al ready cables 
of controlling pumps, motors, etc. have been 
in stalled. The cable shield has to be earthed at 
the side “Power supply/con trol”.
3.1 Plug version
Fix the socket on the corresponding wires of the 
cable. Assignement of contacts – please refer to 
the labelling plate or to the corresponding list. 
Fix the cable shield to the socket in such a way 
that there will be a good contact between shield 
and housing. Plug in and fi x the cable socket 
connector.
3.2
For pin assignment, cable colors, electrical diagrams and load, please refer to the reverse page 
of this manual. 
The pressure transmitter is protected against 
reverse polarity of the suply volt age, as well as 
against over voltage. 
4. New – Calibration of the Zero point
The function for the new calibration of the Zero 
point is accessible on the device. This function 
allows you to make a correction of the output 
signal drift, for example caused by the installation. Any long term drifts can be corrected likewise. Caution: Usually, the pressure transmitter 
must be free of any pressure, when adjusting 
the Zero point. An exception, if for example you 
want to adjust a level transmitter and you want 
to set a new Zero point. If you need to set the 
pressure transmitter with a negative range (-1 … 
X bar ) or with an absolute range, it can only be 
achieved if the defi ned pressure is applied on the 
pressure transmitter. This can be done by means 
of using a calibrator.

push button
So the Zero point can be found, the device must  
be connected to a power supply. The New-Calibration of the Zero point is achieved with a single 
push on the push button. 
The Zero point switch can be reached in different 
way depending on the model:
The model with the plug unit connector: Unplug 
the device plug, then loosen the plug unit from 
the pressure transmitter, turn it anticlockwise. 
Caution: The plug unit is connected with the 
electronic system. Try to avoid to pull out the 
cable to much, because you can possible pull 
out the plug. Although using all your caution and 
you unplug the connection, you take the white 
wire and plug it in the right top hand corner (see 
picture). Now you can apply the power supply 
by plugging in the plug of the device. Press the 
Zero point switch. Detach the plug of the device. 
To  assemble the plug unit, turning it clockwise 
onto the device. Caution: Watch out and take the 
necessary caution not to have the wires twisted 
between the plug unit and the electronic, before 
assembling. Fasten the plug unit on the device. 
Your pressure transmitter is now reset with a 
new Zero point and is ready to be used.
