57-642 ECLIPSE Model 705 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter for Hygienic Industries
2.4.1 Prior to Installing a Hygienic Single Rod Probe
(Models 7xF and 7xH)
Before installing, ensure the:
• Probe has adequate headroom for installation and has unob-
structed entry to the bottom of the vessel.
• Process temperature, pressure, dielectric, viscosity, and
media buildup are within the probe specifications for the
installation. See Specifications, Section 3.6.
• Nozzle length does not restrict performance by ensuring the
following:
• Ratio of Diameter: Length (A:B) is 1:1 or greater; any
ratio, 1:1 (e.g., a 2" x 6" nozzle = 1:3) may require a
Blocking Distance and/or DIELECTRIC adjustment
• Probe is not in contact with conductive objects with
in the vessel.
2.4.1.1 To install a Model 7xF or Model 7xH rigid single rod
hygienic probe:
①
Confirm the model and serial numbers on the nameplates
of the ECLIPSE probe and transmitter are identical.
②
Attach probe rod to process connection using soft jaw
wrench [tighten to 20–25 inch-lbs. (2.25-3 Nm)].
Æ
Carefully place the probe into the vessel. Align the probe as
necessary on the vessel.
Ø
Remove the protective plastic cap from the top of the probe
and store for future use. Make sure the top probe connector
(female socket) is clean and dry. Clean with isopropyl
alcohol and cotton swabs if necessary.
∞
Place the transmitter on the probe. Align the universal
connection at the base of the transmitter housing with the
top of the probe. Tighten the connection to 45 ft–lbs.
