5.8 Autoclaving
The following applies only to model PG43SA-S with option "autoclav-
able version", recognizable on the dial printing as "AUTOCLAVABLE".
Observe the permissible conditions of autoclaving, see chapter
„
9.3 "Permissible temperature"
During the autoclaving process, no weight-loading must be exert-
„
ed via the case and the instrument must not lie on its window.
After the first autoclaving cycles, the window slightly arches
„
outward. This has no effect on the function of the instrument.
Depending on the autoclaving process, whitish residues can build
„
up on the window and pointer. This has no effect on the function of
the instrument.
In case of a zero offset, carry out a zero point setting. See chapter
„
5.7 "External zero point setting".

6. Faults

Following any failure or shut-down of the plant all instruments should
be checked and, if necessary, replaced before recommissioning the
plant.

7. Maintenance and cleaning

7.1 Maintenance
The instruments are maintenance-free.
„
The indicator should be checked once or twice every year. For this
„
the instrument must be disconnected from the process to check
with a pressure testing device.
