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.
The max. permissible pressure is stated in the "Technical

data" in the "Supplement" or on the type label of the sensor.

The vibrating level switch is a measuring instrument and must

be treated accordingly. Bending the vibrating element will

destroy the instrument.

Warning:

The housing must not be used to screw in the instrument!

Applying tightening force on the housing can damage its

internal mechanical parts.
To screw in, use the hexagon above the thread.

4.2 Mounting instructions

For welded socket with O-ring in front and welding marking.
OPTISWITCH 4000 C has a defined thread runout point. This

means that every OPTISWITCH 4000 C is in the same position

after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied flat seal

from the thread of OPTISWITCH 4000 C. This flat seal is not

required when using a welded socket with front-flush O-ring.
Before welding, unscrew OPTISWITCH 4000 C and remove

the rubber ring from the welded socket.
The welded socket has a marking (notch). For horizontal

mounting, weld the socket with the notch facing upward or

downward; in pipelines aligned with the direction of flow.
