(if possible), pumps should be brought up to

power slowly, and valves opened slowly. To

avoid damage from both fluid hammer and

surges, a surge chamber should be installed.

Symptoms of fluid hammer and surge’s dam-

aging effects:

• Digital Gauge exhibits large zero offset.

• Digital Gauge pressure display remains

constant regardless of pressure

• Error code is displayed on screen.

FREEZING:

Prohibit freezing of media in pressure port.

Unit should be drained. (Mount in vertical po-

sition to prevent possible overpressure

damage from frozen media.)

3. INSTALLATION:

This procedure requires the use of a 1

1

⁄16˝

(27mm) hex wrench for tightening the in-

strument to the process connection. Apply

Teflon tape or a suitable sealing compound

to NPT threads of the gauge. Take using the

wrench, tighten 1 turn beyond hand-tight

or until a leak-proof seal has been

achieved.

Caution: Tightening the product by

grasping or putting a tool on the plastic

housing can cause permanent damage to

the product.

WARNING! READ BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. GENERAL:

A failure resulting in injury or damage may be

caused by excessive overpressure, excessive

vibration or pressure pulsation, excessive in-

strument temperature, corrosion of the pres-

sure containing parts, or other misuse.

Consult Omega Engineering before installing

if there are any questions or concerns.

2. OVERPRESSURE:

Pressure spikes in excess of the rated over-

pressure capability of the gauge may cause

irreversible electrical and/or mechanical

damage to the pressure measuring and con-

taining elements. Fluid hammer and surges

can destroy any pressure transducer and

must always be avoided. A pressure snubber

should be installed to eliminate the damaging

hammer effects. Fluid hammer occurs when

a liquid flow is suddenly stopped, as with

quick closing solenoid valves. Surges occur

when flow is suddenly begun, as when a

pump is turned on at full power or a valve is

quickly opened.

PRESSURE SURGES:

Surges are particularly damaging to pressure

gauges if the pipe is originally empty. To avoid

pressure surges, fluid lines should remain full
