2.4 General Preparation Tips
General Sensor
Handling “Tips”:
•
Do not bend sensor tubing.
•
Do not strap/attach other devices to the transmitter probe or electronics enclosure.
•
Only use factory provided mounting brackets to secure transmitter to chamber.
Site Preparation
•
Verify no magnetic devices nearby (see heat trace note, section
•
Verify no carbon steel or magnetic material is near sensor probe. (Should not be within 5
inches [127mm] of either transmitter or Magnetic Level Gage Column.)
o
Some “stainless” clamps are low-grade stainless steel and are magnetic. Be careful
only to use non-magnetic stainless-steel clamps.
2.5 Installation Procedure
1. Secure the brackets to the chamber using the supplied hardware kits. Place (1) bracket as close
to the tee as possible. Place (1) bracket as close to the end of sensor as possible. Evenly space
the rest of the supplied mounting brackets approximately (18) inches [457 mm] along the length of
the sensor in between the top and bottom brackets. Do not exceed (24) inches [610 mm] bracket
spacing.
2. Align the '4mA' and '20mA' level range markings on the sensor tube with the center of process
connections or limits of measuring range. Once sensor is properly aligned, tighten the bracket
screws using the 5/32" Nut Driver or equivalent tool. Assistance may be necessary to hold the
sensor while tightening the screws. To test if the sensor is properly tightened, pull up or down on
the electronics housing. The sensor should not move.

4. Module (Display) Rotation
If you decide to flip the transmitter (section
) you will need to remove the module and rotate it
180° to the desired position.
The unit must be disconnected electrically before removing the
module.
Remove the cover to access the module. Utilize the pull handle to gently rock and
remove the entire module. Once removed, align to desired viewing orientation and line-up the
connectors with the receptacles in the Base PCB. Gently press in on the board using the washers
that hold the pull handle. Reconnect to the power supply; boot screen will appear on the display,
signaling the module is fully installed. Replace cover.
