4.6. Normally transmitters are delivered without installed glands but with blank
plugs (corks) in the second hole.

4.7. It is necessary to apply a shielded cable or unshielded cable with round cross
section and non-moisture absorbing elastomer insulation.

4.8. During service a check must be made of the covers and cable glands to
ensure they are securely fastened. The casing and supply line must be
inspected for physical damage, and the transmitter label for legibility.
The diaphragms should also be periodically checked for signs of damage.
During maintenance it is recommended that the threads of the covers be
lubricated with Vaseline or similar substance. Due to the possibility of sensor
damage, the ambient temperature should not be allowed to exceed 176°F.

In planning the installation of the transmitter and configuration of the

sufficiently large cross-section, and free of sharp bends, in order
