3.1
Selecting the Installation Location
Prior to product installation, check the model, specifications and installation location for the
transmitter. The transmitter is designed to withstand severe environmental conditions. However,
follow the enlisted precautions while selecting the installation site to ensure stable and accurate
operation for years.
•
Ambient Temperature
Avoid locations subjected to significant temperature gradient or wide temperature variations.
If transmitter is exposed to radiant heat from plant’s equipment, then providing adequate
thermal isolation and/or ventilation is desirable.
•
Ambient Atmosphere
Avoid corrosive atmosphere while installing the transmitter. If it must be installed in a corrosive
atmosphere, then provide adequate ventilation and take the necessary measures to prevent
intrusion or stagnation of rainwater in conduits.
•
Shock and Vibration
Although the transmitter is designed to withstand shock and vibrations, it is recommended to
select an installation site with minimum shock and vibration to avoid device damage and
improve measurement accuracy.
