Installation
• Do not route cable openly. For optimum isolation against electrical noise, run cable
separately in a grounded metal conduit. Seal all thread connections to prevent ingress of
moisture.
• Do not run cable near high voltage or current runs, contactors, and SCR control drives.
For pressure tight applications, install transducers hand tight plus ½ to 1½ turns.
• PTFE tape or other appropriate sealant may be used to aid in sealing the threads for use
in pressure applications.
Note:
Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with
local governing regulations.
WARNING:
Never attempt to loosen, remove, or disassemble process connection
while vessel contents are under pressure.
