Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Ensure the transducer is mounted securely using the provided threaded connections. Avoid high-vibration zones if possible, or use appropriate dampening mounts.
• Wiring: Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for the 4-20 mA loop to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby high-voltage lines or variable frequency drives.
• Sealing: Ensure 1/4 inch NPT process ports are properly sealed using compatible thread sealant to prevent leaks in high-pressure or hazardous media applications.
• Power: Verify that the supply voltage is within the 12-30 VDC range before applying power.
• Handling: As a precision instrument, handle with care to avoid mechanical shock to the sensing diaphragm.
