Tightening the Soliphant
Before mounting:
Wrap suitable material around the thread so that it does not eat into the hole when
tightening and that the fork can still be positioned correctly.
Screwing in:
Caution!
When screwing into the threaded sleeve the instrument can be damaged if
– it presses against a vessel wall,
– bores into the material or into any build-up
– it is turned by its housing.
It is necessary therefore:
– to check before screwing in that there is enough free space in the silo.
– to turn the instrument only by the hex nut using an open-ended spanner
(with 1.97 in = 50 AF).
Positioning the fork:
This is only necessary with a laterally mounted Soliphant.
Note!
The function can be affected if material remains lying on the broad side of the fork.
With an instrument mounted for minimum detection outflowing material can damage
the fork if the broad side of the fork is uppermost.
It is necessary therefore:
To turn the hex nut so that the mark is at the top.
This indicates that the narrow side of the fork is upwards and that the material can
flow unhindered and does not remain on the fork.
Caution!
