I. GENERAL
Kayden electronics are designed to be universal for flow, level, interface and temperature applications and with
most liquids, gases and slurries. Ensure:
•
Correct setup of the electronics and,
•
Proper physical installation of the sensor.
Location
•
Consider the need for easy access in order to view the operation and make any required
field adjustments.
•
Provide at least 12 inches (30 cm) clearance if possible to allow access for setup and viewing
after installation.
Shock and Vibration
•
Install the switch/transmitter so as to minimize any effects due to vibration, shock and
extreme temperatures.
Temperature
•
The continuous operating temperature limits of the Electronics Module is -55°C to +65°C
(-67°F to +149°F). Ambient temperatures in excess of +65°C (+149°F) require the electronics to
be mounted remotely from the sensor. Consult kayden.com or the factory for more information.
•
The continuous operating temperature limits of the sensors are -45°C to +200°C (-50°F to +392°F).
Turbulence / Interference
•
Pumps, fans, valves, or pipe bends of 90° or more will cause turbulence or significant variance in the
flow which will affect the repeatability of the switch/transmitter. Care should be taken to minimize this
possibility.
•
For Pump Flow/No-Flow detection, the CLASSIC can be mounted on either the inlet or the discharge
side of the pump (the best linear response will be on the inlet side). If the CLASSIC must be mounted
on the discharge side, a straight run before the CLASSIC of at least 5 times the pipe bore diameter is
recommended.
•
Keep the sensor away from any devices that may cause physical damage such as: agitators, valves,
injectors, etc.
Note:
Many times, especially when replacing a different type of instrument, the installation point is
predetermined and is difficult to change. Kayden switches/transmitters have specific design
features that enable them to perform well even in difficult locations and applications. Please
consult your local representative or Kayden for questions or installation / setup recommendations.
