Pressure measurement (in case of gas)
Mount the transmitter above the process pipes to
preventing moisture from entering the inside of
transmitter.
Level measurement
(1) In case of wet leg:
For measurement, connect the highest liquid level tapping of tank with the low pres-
sure side of transmitter, and the lowest liquid level tapping of tank with the high
pressure side of transmitter.

(1) Protection is required to prevent dust from entering through the atmospheric
air inlet after installation of the manifold valve.
(2) If process pressure range is narrow (below 10kPa (1000mmH
2
O)), the follow-
ing should be considered.
• Pressure variation due to wind around atmospheric air inlet
• Temperature variation near process taps
• Difference in atmospheric pressure between process tap and transmitter
location.
To overcome this, provide atmospheric pressure-side pipe with a proper orifice
and consider accommodating the transmitter and atmospheric air inlet in a box.
