INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Installation should be performed by qualified electricians only!

2. Make sure electrical service is disconnected before making any electrical connections.

3. Branch circuit protection is required to be provided in accordance with the National and Local codes of
the inspection authority.

4. Route wires as required and secure to terminals per connection diagram on this sheet and on the unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. This unit is intended for indoor use at altitudes up to 2000 meters.

2. Transient overvoltages according to Installation Category (overvoltage category) II, pollution Degree 2.

3. The output signal is intended to be "Not accessible to the user." To prevent contact with live circuits, the
transducer is required to be mounted in an enclosure that requires the use of a tool for access.

4. If cleaning of the exterior surface is necessary, de-energize all services of supply (both measuring and
instrument power circuits) and brush with a soft brush or blow off with low-pressure air. Use appropriate
eye protection. Not suitable for hose-down cleaning.

5. Maximum relative humidity 80 percent for temperatures up to 31ºC decreasing linearly to 50 percent
relative humidity at 40ºC.

6. Maximum operating temperature range is -20ºC to 65ºC (-20ºC to 40ºC for "E" suffix models).

WARRANTY STATEMENT

Ohio Semitronics Inc. warrants this unit to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of five
years from date of shipment. This unit must not be used in any manner other than as specified in this document.
