Mounting the clamping bracket
In an environment with space constraints you can use the mounting bracket.
Required tools:
Hexagon socket wrench 3 mm
Loosen the clamping bracket by unscrewing
the mounting screw so that you can easily
move it over the pipe.
Position the clamping bracket and tighten the
mounting screw. Do not exceed a tightening
torque of 1 Nm.

3.1.2
Mounting the measuring insert
The mounting procedure for the measuring insert is identical for all clamping elements.
First apply heat conductive paste to the tip of the measuring insert. Heat conductive paste
is mandatory for this type series for a good measuring accuracy.
Now insert the measuring insert into the bore in the clamping element. You can position
the insert in two ways. Choose the position that simplifies the later cable routing.
Finally tighten the connection by turning the screw connection (see figure 4). No tools are
required for this step. Never try to turn the housing, if you have a device with field housing
or integrated transmitter. You might destroy the device by this.
Do not turn or move the clamping element with a mounted measuring insert. You might
damage or destroy the insert.
