SOR 510IM Immersible Transmitter - Manual (Page 2)

2/4 Form 1003 (03.13) ©SOR Inc.
Before installing the transmitter, verify that the range stated on the transmitter label is
suitable for the pressure to be measured.
The Series 510IM is designed to be self-supporting in any plane when rigidly mounted by
the pressure port (1/4” NPT process connection). Thread the transmitter in place using the
wrench flats provided.
When mounting the transmitter, care must be taken to prevent the cable bending through
a radius smaller than two inches. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage
to the cable internal vent tube. This may give incorrect readings from the transmitter. Care
must be taken to prevent water entering or foreign objects block ing the vent tube, either of
which may result in a fault condition. Faults of this nature are not covered by the warranty.
Avoid mounting the transmitter near a heat source which is liable to overheat the
instrument or cause a temperature gradient across it. If this is unavoidable, introduce a
heat shield to deflect radiated heat and thus maintain the transmitter at a uniform
temperature within the specified limits.
Although the operating temperature of the transmitter extends to below 32°F, fluids must
not be allowed to freeze in the pressure port. Failure will occur due to the expansion of the
frozen fluid in the contained volume of the pressure port causing gross overpressurization.
A failure of this nature is not covered by warranty.
Installation
SOR 510IM submersible products should not be used in liquids known to
have or possibly contain chemical compounds that react with butyl rubber
or stainless steel.
The transmitter should not be used as a step!
