General notes
This section covers positioning the process connection and installing the device.
Mount the OPTIFLEX 1300 C gauge on a suitable process connection on a tank or sump.
Check the following:
•
nozzle position in relation to the tank walls and other objects inside the tanks. Note: this free space
around the probe will depend on the probe type selected - refer to later on in this section
•
installation adapted to the application
For further information on installation and applications, refer to section 1.2.2: Location, liquid applications
and section 1.2.3: Location, solid applications. Refer also to section 1.3: Typical installations.
Hazardous areas
Refer to the special manuals supplied on a CD-ROM with the device.
Process connections
Check that:
•
the tank process connection is level
•
there is a good fit between the device's process connection and the nozzle
•
the tank roof does not deform under the weight of the device
Process connection and entry pipes
Do not put the process connection close to the entry pipe!
Pouring the product directly onto the probe will give false readings!
Install deflector pipes if it is impossible to move the tank fitting away from entry pipe.
