4. Remote Mount Electronics Option.
Due to
process temperature, vibration or accessibility
the housing/electronics of the LTM transmitter
can be remote mounted as far as 25 ft. The
housing/electronics are supplied with a pipe-
mount bracket that can be mounted most
nearby posts or pipes with hose clamps. The

configuration.

electronics configuration.
NEVER install the sensor probe inside an
insulation blanket that may be around the
level gage.
This will overheat the sensor probe
and cause failure.
NEVER
bend, bow or cause a kink in the
sensor probe, this will damage the instrument
and void the warranty. Do not attempt to
straighten the sensor probe, this will not help
the instrument work. If the shipment arrives
damaged please file a claim with the shipping
company and contact the factory to arrange for
a replacement.
There are a variety of ways to install a
standalone transmitters (i.e. crane, lift, etc…),
the basic rule to remember when installing an
LTM transmitter is
DO NOT DAMAGE the
sensor probe
, this will void the warranty. If
damage is suspected please contact the factory
and be prepared to provide pictures.
In
REMOTE MOUNT
electronic options
please support the sensor probe at the
elbow/condulet and then every 3 feet
(depending on length of cable). Support at
every 2 feet may be required if explosion proof
conduit is utilized by the end user.
