Installing the sender/receiver units
1
Make sure the ball valves are closed.
– If applicable, close ball valves.
– If applicable, remove blind flanges.
2
Position the flange gasket.
3
Position the sender/receiver unit on the ball valve.
Make sure the gasket does not move during positioning.
For cross-duct versions, make sure to install the Slave sender/receiver unit (→ Fig. 10)
on the nozzle on the downstream side so that the sender/receiver unit points against
the flow direction.
4
Insert the 4 bolts with the centering sleeves (→ Fig. 31) and screw the sender/receiver
unit onto the ball valve.
Apply a tightening torque according to the installed gasket,
.
5
Completely loosen the pipe screw fitting.
6
Open the ball valve.
7
Push the sender/receiver unit into the pipeline.
8
Check the gasket of the pipe screw fitting for damage.
9
Screw in the pipe screw fitting and tighten with a torque of 150 Nm.
10
Push the sender/receiver unit to the stop.
11
On probe version F1F-P, now align the measuring path correctly before securing the self-
cutting ring fitting. For cross-duct versions, proceed with the next step.
12
Tighten the self-cutting ring fitting tight 1.25 turns.
Make sure the markings for the self-cutting ring fitting are next to each other again,
13
For cross-duct versions, install the Master sender/receiver unit on the nozzle on the
upstream side so that the sender/receiver unit points in the flow direction.
Observe when aligning the probe version
Before securing the self-cutting ring fitting again, align probe version F1F-P correctly:
The measuring path must be aligned in flow direction, i.e. the arrow shown must point in
flow direction.
WARNING:
Danger due to gas leaks
When gas escapes, close the ball valve again and contact SICK Service.
WARNING:
Leakage hazard
Repeated use may damage the gasket of the pipe screw fitting.
▸
Before reuse, i.e. whenever the pipe screw fitting is to be tightened again,
check the gasket of the pipe screw fitting:
▸
Replace the gasket if it has visible deformations, indentations or damage. In
this case contact SICK Service.
Otherwise there is a risk of leakage.
