INFOCAL 8

Handle the temperature sensors carefully!

The sensor cables are fitted with coloured type labels:

Red (TH): sensor in hot line, 

Blue (TC): sensor in cold line

Make sure the sensors are mounted symmetrically (both directly 

immersed, or both installed in a pocket). The maximum cable length 

is 10 m. The connecting cables must not be shortened or extended. 

The free temperature sensor can be installed in a ball valve /adapter 

or in a conformity tested pocket for this type of sensor. Ensure that the 

temperature sensors are permanently connected during operation.

For installation in a ball valve (same for adapter), a 4-piece coupling 

set is enclosed in a separate bag. See procedure under item 1…5 

on the right. Insert an O-ring in the sensor hole using the mounting 

pin supplied.

If the sensor is installed in a pocket, it must be inserted as far as the 

bottom of the pocket and then secured. The pockets are best installed 

in T-pieces with a 45° or 90° angle. The tip of the pocket must point in 

the opposite direction to the direction of flow and must be located 

in the middle of the pipe.

The temperature sensors must be sealed after installation in the 

pockets.

Connect the sensor cables to terminals as shown below.

- For 2-wire connection to terminal 5-6 and 7-8

- For 4-wire connection to terminal 1/5 - 6/2 and 3/7 - 8/4
