4.2 Storage and transport
4.2.1 Storage conditions
• Use the original packaging
• Store the device in clean and dry conditions and protect from damage caused by shocks
Storage temperature range
See Technical Information.
4.2.2 Transporting the product to the measuring point
LWARNING
Incorrect transport!
Housing and membrane may become damaged, and there is a risk of injury!
‣Transport the device to the measuring point in the original packaging.
5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting requirements
5.1.1 General instructions
• Do not clean or touch the membrane with hard and/or pointed objects.
• Do not remove the protection on the membrane until just before installation.
Always firmly tighten the housing cover and the cable entries.
1. Counter-tighten the cable entries.
2. Tighten the coupling nut.
5.1.2 Installation instructions
• The devices are mounted according to the same guidelines as pressure gauges (DIN
EN837-2)
• To ensure optimal readability of the local display, adjust the housing and local display
• Endress+Hauser offers a mounting bracket to mount the device on pipes or walls
• Use flushing rings for flanges if there is a risk of medium buildup or clogging at the process
connection
• The flushing ring is clamped between the process connection and process
• Material buildup in front of the membrane is flushed away, and the pressure chamber is
vented, via the two lateral flushing holes
• When measuring in media containing solids (e.g. dirty liquids), installing separators and
drain valves is useful for capturing and removing sediment
Mounting Cerabar PMC51B HART
8 Endress+Hauser
• Using a valve manifold allows for easy commissioning, installation and maintenance
without interrupting the process
• When mounting the device, establishing the electrical connection and during operation:
prevent the penetration of moisture into the housing
• Point the cable and plug downwards as much as possible to prevent moisture from entering
(e.g. rainwater or condensation)
5.1.3 Installation instructions for thread
• Device with G 1 ½" thread:
Place the flat seal on the sealing surface of the process connection
Avoid additional strain on the membrane: do not seal the thread with hemp or similar
materials
• Device with NPT thread:
• Wrap Teflon tape around the thread to seal it
• Tighten the device at the hexagon bolt only; do not turn it by the housing
• When screwing in, do not overtighten the thread; tighten the NPT thread to the required
depth according to the standard
• For the following process connections, a tightening torque of max. 40 Nm (29.50 lbf ft) is
specified:
• Thread ISO228 G ½" with flush membrane
• Thread DIN13 M20 x 1.5 with flush membrane
• NPT 3/4" with flush membrane
Mounting devices with PVDF thread
LWARNING
Risk of damage to process connection!
Risk of injury!
‣Devices with a PVDF thread must be installed with the mounting bracket provided!
‣PVDF is only intended for metal-free applications!
LWARNING
Material fatigue from pressure and temperature!
Risk of injury if parts burst! The thread can become loose if exposed to high pressure and
temperature loads.
‣Check the leak-tight integrity of the thread regularly.
‣Use Teflon tape to seal the ½" NPT thread.
5.1.4 Orientation
NOTICE
Damage to the device!
If a heated device is cooled during a cleaning process (e.g. by cold water), a vacuum develops
for a short time. As a result of this, moisture can enter the measuring cell via the pressure
compensation element (1).
‣Mount the device as follows.

A0038723
• Keep the pressure compensation element (1) free from contamination
• A position-dependent zero point shift (when the vessel is empty the measured value does
not display zero) can be corrected
• The use of shutoff devices and/or water pocket pipes is recommended for mounting
• The orientation depends on the measuring application
5.2 Mounting the device
5.2.1 Pressure measurement in gases
Mount the device with the shutoff device above the tapping point so that any condensate can
flow into the process.
5.2.2 Pressure measurement in vapors
A water pocket pipe reduces the temperature to almost the ambient temperature. The defined
water column only causes minimal (negligible) measured errors and minimal (negligible)
thermal effects on the device.
Observe the maximum permitted ambient temperature of the transmitter!
• Ideally, mount the device with the O-shaped water pocket pipe below the tapping point
The device may also be mounted above the tapping point
• Fill the water pocket pipe with liquid before commissioning
5.2.3 Pressure measurement in liquids
Mount the device with the shutoff device below or at the same level as the tapping point.
Electrical connection Cerabar PMC51B HART
10 Endress+Hauser
5.2.4 Level measurement
• Always mount the device below the lowest measuring point
• Do not install the device at the following positions:
• In the filling curtain
• In the tank outlet
• In the suction area of a pump
• At a point in the tank which could be affected by pressure pulses from the agitator
• Mount the device downstream from a shutoff device: the calibration and function check can
be carried out more easily
5.2.5 Closing the housing cover
NOTICE
Thread and housing cover damaged from dirt and fouling!
‣Remove fouling (e.g. sand.) on the thread of the cover and housing.
‣If you continue to encounter resistance when closing the cover, check the thread again for
fouling.
Housing thread
The thread of the electronics and connection compartment is coated with lubricant
varnish.
Avoid additional lubrication.
6 Electrical connection
6.1 Connecting requirements
6.1.1 Potential equalization
The protective ground on the device must not be connected. If necessary, the potential
matching line can be connected to the outer ground terminal of the device before the device is
connected.
