In order to ensure that, with Model 73x.31 pressure can be safely and
reliably vented through the case back, a distance of at least 25 mm must be
left free behind the case!
In order to avoid any additional heating, the instruments must not be
exposed to direct solar irradiation while in operation!
With filled versions the ventilating valve at the top of the case must be
opened prior to commissioning!
Permissible vibration load at the mounting point
The instruments should always be installed in locations free from vibration.
If necessary, it is possible to isolate the instrument from the mounting point
by installing a flexible connection line between the measuring point and the
pressure gauge and mounting the instrument on a suitable bracket.
If this is not possible, the following limit values must not be exceeded:
Dry gauges:
(Model 732)
Liquid-filled gauges: Frequency range < 150 Hz
(Model 733)
The liquid filling must be checked on a regular basis.
The liquid level must not drop below 75 % of the gauge diameter.
