Mount the unit with-
in the inactive zone, if
possible (I; mounting
area M1). The active
zone (A) should be
completely in the ves-
sel.
For an optimum func-
tion we recommend:
A part of the active
zone should be above
the upper edge of the
vessel / above the
overflow (1cm for
LK8022 / 1.5cm for
LK8023 / 2.5cm for LK8024).
You can also fasten mounting elements in the upper half of the active
zone (possible mounting area, M2). This reduces the active zone to the
area between mounting element and probe end. In this case the
mounting element should be above the upper edge of the vessel /
above the overflow (3cm for LK8022 / 5cm for LK8023 / 8cm for
LK8024).
• If possible, mount the unit in the middle of the vessel when it is
installed in small plastic vessels:
• For dirty media we recommend: Fasten the unit in a zone where
there is much movement of the medium (e.g. at the supply inlet).
• When installed in metal rising pipes (bypass) the sensor must be
mounted in the middle of the pipe. The inside diameter of the pipe
must be min. 120 mm.
• Metal objects within the vessel
(e.g. metal pipes, components
integrated into the vessel)
must observe a minimum dis-
tance of 60 mm to the active
zone of the sensor. Otherwise,
they are detected as mounting
element (this reduces the
active zone to the area
between metal object and
probe end).
• When installed in metal vessels
the following distances must
be observed:
- sensor - vessel wall: 40mm
- sensor - vessel bottom:
10mm.
