Mounting instructions
• Before inserting SITRANS Probe LR into its mounting connection, check to ensure the
threads are matching to avoid damaging them.
• Simply screw SITRANS Probe LR into the process connection, and hand tighten.
• For pressure applications, it will be necessary to use PTFE tape (or other appropriate
thread-sealing compound) and tighten the process connection beyond hand-tight.
The maximum torque is 40 N-m (30 ft-lbs).
• To rotate the enclosure, use a 2 mm Allen key to loosen the three set-screws that secure
the locking collar. Once the enclosure is positioned as desired, tighten the set-screws.
