Y-KH15-007A Rev.3
Do not orient glands upward to prevent water from entering via
cables.
Never pull the cable or bend it extremely. Wiring requires great
care so that the self-weight of the cable is not applied to the
product.
Maintenance and adjustment requires enough space in the
surroundings.
When the temperature of the measuring fluid exceeds the
operating temperature range, take heat release measures by
using a cooling system or installing the pipe syphon to mitigate
the effects without introducing the measuring fluid in the KH15
body.
When the temperature of the measuring fluid falls below ambient
temperature (or when you see temperature difference between
the main unit and fluid), take measures against condensation
such as a pipe extension so that the temperature of the
measuring fluid is nearly equal to ambient temperature of the
main unit.
Wind the tape around the tapered male pipe thread to prevent
leakage.
When a straight pipe thread is used, check the packing and seal
surface for dust, contamination or flaws to prevent leakage.
If there is a risk of surge pressure, use the throttle fitting and
dampener.

7.2 Precautions for Possible Water Sprinkling
Install the product so that the gland part (cable outlet) faces
downward to prevent water from entering through there as
shown in the figure below (recommended installation direction).
Tighten the gland securely to prevent the intrusion of water (See
“8.1 Wiring”).
When installing the cable, move it down to the bottom first as
shown in the following figure, bend it in a circular pattern a few
times and then install it upward so that water hardly enters or
accumulates inside the cable (move the cable down to the
bottom first before installation regardless of the mounting
orientation).
For installation of conduit, do the same to prevent water from
entering.
