Hauser
For this reason, the following mounting locations are recommended:
• At the lowest point in a vertical pipe
• Downstream from pumps (no danger of vacuum)

Thermal insulation
In the case of some fluids, it is important that the heat radiated from the sensor to the transmitter
is kept to a minimum. A wide range of materials can be used for the required insulation.
NOTICE
Electronics overheating on account of thermal insulation!
►
Observe maximum permitted insulation height of the transmitter neck so that the transmitter
head is completely free.

Heating
NOTICE
Electronics can overheat due to elevated ambient temperature!
►
Observe maximum permitted ambient temperature for the transmitter (

Depending on the fluid temperature, take the device orientation requirements into account

Heating options
If a fluid requires that no heat loss should occur at the sensor, users can avail of the following heating
options:
• Electrical heating, e.g. with electric band heaters
• Via pipes carrying hot water or steam
• Via heating jackets
Using an electrical trace heating system
If heating is regulated via phase angle control or pulse packages, magnetic fields can affect the
measured values (= for values that are greater than the values approved by the EN standard (sine
30 A/m)).
For this reason, the sensor must be magnetically shielded: the housing can be shielded with tin plates
or electric sheets without a privileged direction (e.g. V330-35A).
The sheet must have the following properties:
• Relative magnetic permeability
