5.1 Mounting requirements
5.1.1 Dimensions
For dimensions, please refer to the Technical Information for Deltabar S TI00382P,
"Mechanical construction" section.
5.2 Mounting the device
• Due to the orientation of the Deltabar S, a zero point shift may occur, i.e. when the vessel is
empty, the measured value does not display zero. You can correct this zero point shift either
directly on the device via the button or via remote operation.
• General recommendations for routing the impulse piping can be found in DIN 19210
"Methods for measurement of fluid flow; differential piping for flow measurement devices"
or the corresponding national or international standards.
• Using a valve manifold allows for easy commissioning, installation and maintenance
without interrupting the process.
• When routing the impulse piping outdoors, ensure that sufficient anti-freeze protection is
used, e.g. by using pipe heat tracing.
• Lay the impulse piping with a monotonic gradient of at least 10 %.
• To ensure optimum readability of the local display, it is possible to rotate the housing by up
to 380°.
• Endress+Hauser offers a mounting bracket for installation on pipes or walls.
5.2.1 Installation for flow measurement
Flow measurement in gases with PMD75
Mount the Deltabar S above the measuring point so that the condensate can drain into the
process pipe.
Mounting Deltabar S FMD77, FMD78, PMD75
8 Endress+Hauser
Flow measurement in vapors with PMD75
• Mount the Deltabar S below the measuring point.
• Mount the condensate traps at the same level as the tapping points and at the same
distance to the Deltabar S.
• Prior to commissioning, fill the impulse piping to the height of the condensate traps.
Flow measurement in liquids with PMD75
• Mount the Deltabar S below the measuring point so that the impulse piping is always filled
with liquid and gas bubbles can run back into the process piping.
• When measuring in media with solid parts, such as dirty liquids, installing separators and
drain valves is useful for capturing and removing sediment.
5.2.2 Installation for level measurement
Level measurement in an open vessel with PMD75
• Mount the Deltabar S below the lower measuring connection so that the impulse piping is
always filled with liquid.
• The negative side is open to atmospheric pressure.
• When measuring in media with solid parts, such as dirty liquids, installing separators and
drain valves is useful for capturing and removing sediment.
Level measurement in an open vessel with FMD77
• Mount the Deltabar S directly on the vessel.
• The negative side is open to atmospheric pressure.
Level measurement in a closed vessel with PMD75
• Mount the Deltabar S below the lower measuring connection so that the impulse piping is
always filled with liquid.
• Always connect the impulse piping on the negative side above the maximum level.
• When measuring in media with solid parts, such as dirty liquids, installing separators and
drain valves is useful for capturing and removing sediment.
Level measurement in a closed vessel with FMD77
• Mount the Deltabar S directly on the vessel.
• Always connect the impulse piping on the negative side above the maximum level.
• When measuring in media with solid parts, such as dirty liquids, installing separators and
drain valves is useful for capturing and removing sediment.
Level measurement in a closed vessel with FMD78
• Mount the Deltabar S below the lower diaphragm seal.
• The ambient temperature should be the same for both capillaries.
Level measurement is only guaranteed between the upper edge of the lower diaphragm seal
and the lower edge of the upper diaphragm seal.

Level measurement in a closed vessel with superimposed steam with PMD75
• Mount the Deltabar S below the lower measuring connection so that the impulse piping is
always filled with liquid.
• Always connect the impulse piping on the negative side above the maximum level.
• The condensate trap ensures constant pressure on the negative side.
• When measuring in media with solid parts, such as dirty liquids, installing separators and
drain valves is useful for capturing and removing sediment.

5.2.3 Installation for pressure measurement (160 bar (2400 psi) and 250 bar (3750
psi) measuring cell)
The negative side is open to atmospheric pressure via the reference air filters screwed into the
LP side flange.
Mount the Deltabar S above the measuring point so that the condensate can drain into the
process pipe.
5.2.4 Installation for differential pressure measurement
Differential pressure measurement in gases and vapors with PMD75
Mount the Deltabar S above the measuring point so that the condensate can drain into the
process pipe.
Differential pressure measurement in liquids with PMD75
• Mount the Deltabar S below the measuring point so that the impulse piping is always filled
with liquid and gas bubbles can run back into the process piping.
• When measuring in media with solid parts, such as dirty liquids, installing separators and
drain valves is useful for capturing and removing sediment.
Differential pressure measurement in gases, vapors and liquids with FMD78
• Mount diaphragm seals with capillaries on pipes at the top or side.
• For vacuum applications: mount the Deltabar S below the measuring point.
• The ambient temperature should be the same for both capillaries.
5.2.5 Installation instructions for devices with diaphragm seals (FMD78)
• Please note that the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid columns in the capillaries can cause
zero point shift. The zero point shift can be corrected.
• Do not clean or touch the process membrane of the diaphragm seal with hard or pointed
objects.
• Do not remove the protection on the process membrane until just before installation.

NOTICE
Incorrect handling!
Damage to the device!
‣A diaphragm seal and the pressure transmitter together form a closed, calibrated system
that has been filled through openings in the diaphragm seal and in the pressure
transmitter's measurement system. These openings are sealed and must not be opened!
‣If a mounting bracket is used, sufficient strain relief must be ensured for the capillaries in
order to prevent them from buckling (bending radius > 100 mm (3.94 in)).
‣Please observe the application limits of the diaphragm seal fill fluid as detailed in the
Technical Information for Deltabar S TI00382P, "Planning instructions for diaphragm seal
systems" section.
NOTICE
In order to obtain more precise measurement results and to avoid a defect in the device,
mount the capillaries as follows:
‣Mount capillaries vibration-free (in order to avoid additional pressure fluctuations).
‣Do not mount capillaries in the vicinity of heating or cooling lines.
‣Insulate capillaries if the ambient temperature is below or above the reference
temperature.
‣Mount capillaries with a bending radius > 100 mm (3.94 in)
‣Do not use capillaries as a carrying aid for the diaphragm seals!
‣In the case of two-sided diaphragm seal systems, the ambient temperature and the length
of both capillaries should be identical.
‣Two identical diaphragm seals (e.g. diameter, material etc.) should always be used for the
negative and positive side (standard delivery).
5.2.6 Seal for flange mounting
NOTICE
Incorrect measurement results.
The seal is not allowed to press against the process membrane as this could affect the
measurement result.
‣Ensure that the seal is not touching the process membrane.
