READ PRESSSURE

WARNING! - SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Sudden release of compressed or stored gas can cause personal injury. Always vent the system before making pressure connections or disconnections. Exercise standard physical protection practices such as eye protection, gloves, protective clothing, etc.

To prevent the potentially hazardous release into the atmosphere of substances introduced into the pneumatic system by the user, no relief valves are provided in the QuikCal 90 Pressure Module. Consequently, if a module is overpressurized, the sensor will be damaged.

FITTING INSTALLATION

All pneumatic connections to the QuikCal 90 Module are made via 1/8”-27 NPT threads in the pressure port. Adapter fittings may be used for 1/4”-18, straight 10-32 threads or any other size fittings to match the field connections.

To install a fitting in a module pressure port:

1)Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to the fitting threads (Teflon tape not recommended with stainless steel fittings)

2)Carefully install the fitting in the pressure port on top of the module

3)Use a 5/8” wrench to support the pressure module port and a second wrench to tighten the fitting

4)Check for leaks
