THE FLEXIBLE SENSOR LEAD - _ PRECAUTIONS
The flexible sensor lead between the sensor housing and the case of the thermometer is NOT ordinary
cable. The sensor has to sense temperatures up to +150°C and down to -50°C and the cable has to
withstand such temperatures. The cable insulation is a special high temperature material and, when
installing, great care must be taken not to damage it.
When fitting the sensor, pay particular attention to the following points:-
1.
Do not pull, tug or stretch the sensor cable and ensure that the lead is not resting or
snagged against a sharp edge or trapped between two surfaces
2
If the lead is too long, it can be coiled and held together by a high temperature tie-wrap,
making sure that the tie wrap used is kept WELL AWAY FROM THE HOT TANK SURFACE.
3.
After fitting the sensor, make sure that all of the space above the sensor (between the
sensor and the outside shell of the tank) is fully thermally insulated.
4.
The maximum amount of insulation must be fitted around the sensor between the tank
and the outer skin to ensure that the sensor is not losing heat to the atmosphere
