Toxic hazard!
The PT contains a small amount (7 mm³) of
mercury (Hg) as its transmission medium. If
the diaphragm is damaged, mercury may
escape.
Never transport or store the PT without the
protective shell bolted in place. Remove the
shell shortly before installation.
If mercury is inhaled or swallowed, seek
medical attention immediately!
Mercury is hazardous waste and must be
disposed of in accordance with applicable
laws. DYNISCO will accept defective PTs.
If mercury escapes, use airtight packaging!
When planning machinery and using the PT,
follow the safety and accident prevention
regulations that apply to your application,
e.g.:
●EN 60204, Electrical equipment in
machines.
●EN 292, Machine safety, general design
guidelines.
●DIN 57 100 Part 410, Protection against
electric shock.
Mounting and electrical connection of the PT
mustbe done by specialists withEMC training,
following all applicable regulations, and in
pressureless, voltage-free condition with
the machine switched off.
The machine must be secured against
being switched back on!
Burn hazard!
The PT must be removed with the melt in
molten condition. The PT can be very hot
when removed.
Wear protective gloves!
