COMMISSIONING
8.3 Inserting and switching on
8.3.1 Adapt the sender/receiver unit to the duct geometry
Fig. 29: Measuring probe alignment
The sender/receiver unit is delivered for vertical fitting as standard when the duct direction
(horizontal or vertical) is not specified in the order. Rotate the sender/receiver unit 90°
when fitting on a horizontal duct (
see “Adjusting the duct geometry”, page 100 ).
8.3.2 Fitting and connecting the sender/receiver unit
The sender/receiver unit is already connected to the purge gas supply ( see “Installing the
purge gas supply”, page 57 ) and connected to the control unit with the connecting line ( see
“Connecting the connection line to the control unit”, page 56 ), now the steps for insertion
in the duct follow:
1
Connect a flexible potential equalization line that allows the sender/receiver unit to be
removed from the duct when connected.
2
Activate purge gas supply.
3
Push the sender/receiver unit with the correct alignment ( see “Adapt the sender/
receiver unit to the duct geometry”, page 62 ) into the flange with tube. Do not forget the
seal and fasten it with the mounting kit ( see “Fastening technology”, page 126 ). Make
sure the probe head is not damaged during fitting.
4
Switch the supply voltage on.

WARNING:
Risk of poisoning by exhaust gases
When the sender/receiver unit is installed in potentially explosion-hazardous areas,
toxic or aggressive gases or dusts may escape and cause injury through inhalation or
contact.
▸
In case of potential danger, only install the sender/receiver unit on the duct when the
system is at a standstill.
