2.6 Pressure Equipment
Directive (PED)
(1) General
• EJX/EJA-E Series pressure transmitters are
categorized	as	piping	under	the	pressure	accessories	
section	of	directive	97/23/EC,	which	corresponds	to	
Article	3,	Paragraph	3	of	PED,	denoted	as	Sound	
Engineering	Practice	(SEP).
• EJX110A-MS, EJX110A-HS,
EJX110A-VS,	EJA110E	with	/HG,	EJ130,	
EJ440,	EJ510-D,	EJ530-D,	
EJX610A-D,	and	EJX630A-D	can	be	used	above	
200	bar	and	therefore	considered	as	a	part	of	a	
pressure	retaining	vessel	where	category	III,	Module	
H	applies.	These	models	with	option	code	/PE3	
conform	to	that	category.
(2) Technical Data
• Models without /PE3

*1: PS is maximum pressure for vessel itself based on
Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC. Refer to
General Specification for maximum working pressure of a
transmitter.
*2: Referred to Table 1 covered by ANNEX II of EC Directive
on Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC
(3) Operation
CAUTION
• The temperature and pressure of fluid should
be	maintained	at	levels	that	are	consistent	with	
normal	operating	conditions.
• The ambient temperature should be maintained
at	a	level	that	is	consistent	with	normal	operating	
conditions.
• Please take care to prevent water hammer and the
like	from	inducing	excessive	pressures	in	pipes	
and	valves.	If	phenomena	are	likely,	install	a	safety	
valve	or	take	some	other	appropriate	measure	to	
prevent	pressure	from	exceeding	PS.
• Take appropriate measures at the device or
system	level	to	protect	transmitters	if	they	are	to	be	
operated	near	an	external	heat	source.
