For a correct functioning of the ventilation diaphragm please take the following into account:
u
Remove soiling and cleaning agents immediately using plenty of lime-deficient splash water.
If the sensor is in a cooling stage:
u
Avoid contact of the ventilation diaphragm with liquids to avoid negative pressure in the
measuring system (resulting in a slightly falsified measured value) and additional strain on
the diaphragm.
5.3.2 Orientation filter cover
The filter cover is freely rotatable around the sensor's axis and thus adaptable to the environmental
conditions.
When the sensor is mounted in a vertical position, the condensate escapes through the ports in the
protective cap due to gravity.
When the sensor is mounted in a horizontal position or similar, the filter protection cap must be rotated
towards one of the two lateral faces to bring the ventilation diaphragm into a vertical position. This
guarantees the optimum drainage for liquids.
