Operating Instructions

6. Packaging

Has everything been supplied?
Check the scope of supply:
Completely assembled level probe
„
Inspect the pressure transmitter for possible damage during transportation. Should there
„
be any obvious damage, inform the transport company and SICK without delay.
Keep the packaging, as it offers optimal protection during transportation (e.g. changing
„
installation location, shipment for repair).
Ensure that the connection contacts will not be damaged.

7. Starting, operation

Diaphragm test for your safety
It is necessary that before starting the pressure transmitter you check the diaphragm, as this is a
safety-relevant component.
Pay attention to any liquid leaking out, for this points to a diaphragm damage.
„
Use the pressure transmitter only if the diaphragm is undamaged.
„
Use the pressure transmitter only if it is in a faultless condition as far as the
„
Warning
safety-relevant features are concerned.
The protection cap (A) protects the recessed diaphragm (B) from damage during trans-
„
port and immersion. Remove the protection cap if used with highly viscous or contami-
nated media.
An additional strain relief is not necessary because the cable has a max. tensile
„
strength of 1000 N (500 N with FEP).
Any ingress of liquids or moisture into the open end of the ventilation tube of the
„
connection cable shall be avoided. Where necessary, a vent tube filter shall be atta-
ched.
Specifically the connection cable is to be handled with great care. Any damage has to be
„
avoided by all means.
