2.3 Before You Begin
2.3.1 Site Preparation
Each Kotron Model 805 transmitter is built to match the
specific physical specifications of the required installation.
Make sure the probe connection is correct for the threaded
or flanged mounting on the vessel or tank where the trans-
mitter will be placed. See
Mounting, Section 2.4.
Make sure that the wiring between the power supply and
Model 805 transmitter is complete and correct for the type
of installation. See

2.3.3 Operational Considerations
The Model 805 transmitter should be located for easy
access for service, configuration, and monitoring. There
should be sufficient headroom to allow the probe to be
inserted into the tank. Special precautions should be made
to prevent exposure to corrosive atmosphere, excessive
vibration, shock, or physical damage.
The transmitter electronics should not be exposed to
ambient temperatures above +175° F (+80° C) or below
-40° F (-40° C). The proper operating temperature range
for the display is -10° to +160° F (-20° to +70° C).
The temperature limits for the probe depend on the
style and part number of the specific probe used. See
