4.1 General instructions
Make sure that all parts of the instrument coming in direct contact
with the process, especially the sensor element, process seal and
process fitting, are suitable for the existing process conditions, such
as process pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical
properties of the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the
nameplate.
Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and
connecting as well as later retrofitting of a display and adjustment
module. The housing can be rotated by 330° without the use of any
tools. You can also install the display and adjustment module in four
different positions (each displaced by 90°).
Before beginning the welding work, remove the electronics module
from the sensor. By doing this, you avoid damage to the electronics
through inductive coupling.
With threaded versions, the housing must not be used to screw in the
instrument. Applying tightening forces on the housing can damage its
internal parts.
Use the hexagon for screwing in.
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This ap-
plies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where
high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on
cooled or heated vessels.
Fig. 4: Measures against moisture penetration
The process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or low pressure in
the vessel. Before use, check if the seal material is resistant against
the measured product and the process temperature.
