Before installation, ensure that the right instrument has been selected
following the working conditions and in particular the range, the
working temperature and the compatibility between the material used
and the process fluid.
- This manual does not conform to standard 94/9/CE (ATEX).
- The product warranty is no longer valid in case of non-authorized
modifications and of incorrect use of the product.
- The user is totally responsible for the instrument installation and
maintenance.
- Handle and carefully stock the instrument used for toxic or
inflammable liquids measurement
The pressure transmitter turns the input pressure into an output electrical signal.
The electrical signal changes in proportion to the input pressure level.
5. General
The KOBOLD SEN-96 Standard model is an electronic transmitter with ceramic
sensor for air, industrial, technical gases, water, and oils. They are designed to
be installed in gaseous distribution plants, storage tanks, refrigeration,
compressors, vacuum pumps, and general hydraulic/pneumatic pressure
systems.
6. Installation
Before installing electrical instrument safely and securely into a plant or a system
the user should verify the instrument suitability to the plant characteristics and the
correct installation. After installation the user should verify that the instrument is
not exposed to any source of heat exceeding the established ambient limits.
Secure the instrument thread through a special key/wrench on the process
connection hexagon (20…30 Nm). The correct torque depends on the type of
process connection and the type of seal used (form and material).
As for those process connections with a cylindrical thread (Gas-Metric), a head
gasket compatible with the measurement gas or fluid should be used.
If the connection thread is conical the instrument is tightened through a simple
screwing on the plug. In order to improve the thread tightness it is recommended
to place a PTFE layer on the male thread.
If the instrument is equipped with a fluid diaphragm seal the connection should be
clamped on the diaphragm otherwise the calibration could be compromised.
