| Safety instructions |
| Read the product description before installing the unit. Ensure that the product is suitable for your application without any restrictions.Non-adherence to the operating instructions or technical data can lead to personal injury and/or damage to property.In all applications check compliance of the product materials (see Technical data) with the media to be measured. |
Function and features
The pressure sensor detects the system pressure and converts it into an analogue output signal (4 ... 20mA). The measuring range can be scaled to up to 25% of the value of the measuring range ( page 19). It is also indicated:
- System pressure above the measuring range: output signal > 20 mA.
- System pressure below the measuring range: output signal drops to max. 3.2mA (depending on the scaling).

Avoid static and dynamic overpressure exceeding the given overload pressure.
Even if the bursting pressure is exceeded only for a short time the unit can be destroyed (danger of injuries)!
The unit is ready for operation when delivered.
Factory preset: not scaled (ASP = 0 bar; AEP = 100% of the final value of the measuring range).
2 Use with factory setting
Installation
Before mounting and removing the sensor, make sure that no pressure is applied to the system.
The unit is adaptable for various process fittings. ifm adapters to be ordered separately as accessories.
Mount adapter (B) to the sensor first, then sensor + adapter to the process connection by means of a nut, a clamping flange or similar (A).
If it is not possible to slide the fixing element (A) down over the top of the sensor: slide it up over the bottom of the sensor before the adapter is mounted.

Note: Sensor and adapter are only to be mounted once.
Mounting of the adapter Step 1
Grease thread and sealing chamfer of the sensor and of the adapter with the greasing paste supplied.
The greasing paste is food-grade (USDA-H1 84-201).
Make sure that the O-ring (C) is correctly positioned.

Step 2
Screw the sensor into the adapter. Avoid mechanical influence on the sealing chamfers.
Step 3
Clamp sensor and adapter into a clamping device (D). The sealing chamfers (E) must not be damaged. Tighten the sensor with a spanner until you can feel the end stop.
Note: If you continue to turn, this can have adverse effect on the sealing.

Electrical connection

The unit must be connected by a suitably qualified electrician.
The national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment must be observed.
Voltage supply to EN50178, SELV, PELV.
Disconnect power before connecting the unit as follows:

Installation and set-up / operation / maintenance
After mounting, wiring and setting check whether the unit operates correctly.
Cleaning of the filter cover
If viscous and residues producing media clog the filter cover of the sensor (and thus reduce the measuring accuracy slightly), you can clean it.
Unscrew the filter cover (B) (use a pair of pliers with plastic-covered jaws for this). Clean the cover thoroughly.
The vent (A) should only be cleaned by skilled personnel and with utmost care.


Possible medium residues must not be compressed and pressed into the vent. This could clog the filter system and reduce the measuring accuracy of the sensor.
Screw the filter cover again tightly.
The sensor is sufficiently protected against harsh ambient conditions (protection IP 67). The protection rating can be increased by a special accessory (order no. E30043).

Connect the sensor to a PC via the EPS-RS232 interface (order no. E30066).
- The sensor is supplied with operating voltage by the interface,
- and transmits its data (measured values, analogue signal and parameter settings) continuously via the interface.
It provides the following options:
- Remote display
Indication of the current system pressure by PC or display.
- Remote evaluation
Output of the current analogue value.
- Programming / remote programming of the sensor
Scaling the measuring range, damping for the analogue output, calibration of the sensor.
Parameters can be set before the sensor is mounted and set up or during operation.

If you change the parameters during operation, the functioning of the plant will be affected. Ensure that plant malfunction is prevented.

Wiring of sensor and EPS interface
For use of the sensor with EPS interface prior to installation of the sensor: Use a suitable power supply (24V power supply; ifm order no. E30080).

For mobile use of the interface after installation of the sensor:
Disconnect power before connecting the unit.
Do not disconnect these connections while live.
