Installation and Operating Instructions BM 26 A

1.4

Mounting on the tank

• The BM 26 A bypass level indicator must be installed vertically on the tank

• When installing the BM 26 A bypass level indicator with or without the electrical level transducer

system, make sure that any magnetic fields generated by other equipment will not affect
measurements.

• Select bolts and gaskets (supplied by customer) that correspond to the pressure rating of the

connecting flange and the operating pressure.

• The process connections (flanges) must fit perfectly, i.e. they must be centred, parallel and

bolted in a professional way, in order to avoid unnecessary mechanical stress on the installation.

• The tank must be free of contaminants. It is recommended to install shut-off elements, e.g.

cocks, valves, etc., between the tank and bypass level indicator to allow the bypass level
indicator to be cleaned independently of the tank. The drain plug in the bottom flange must also
be replaced by a drainage cock with discharge line.
