3.1 Installation guidelines
• Do not use stainless steel probes in sea water or other corrosion-causing media (e.g., acids,
alkalis, chlorine-based compounds). Clean the probe immediately.
• Make sure that the measuring medium does not cause damage to the probe components.
• Do not replace the cable. If the cable has damage, contact the manufacturer.
• Make sure that the device cables do not cause a trip hazard and do not have sharp bends.
• Make sure that the cable is not routed near hot surfaces. Make sure not to put heavy objects on
the cable.
• Make sure that there are no unwanted materials in the optical path.
• Immediately set the controller to OFF if the probe sends out smoke, noxious fumes or gets hot.
Contact the manufacturer.
3.2 Installation overview
Figure 3 shows the probe installed with the optional bracket installation option. Figure 5 shows the
probe installed with the optional flow through unit. Refer to the documentation supplied with the
mounting hardware for more information.
Put the probe into the sample. Make sure that the optical path is fully immersed in the sample. Install
the sensor transversally to the flow direction of the sample so the particle on the windows are at a
minimum. Refer to
Figure 4 .
Note: Make sure that the probe does not touch the ground.
