3 Mounting
3.1 Collar or adapter flange
For mounting the instrument on a socket, a combi compression flange
for DN 80 (ASME 3" or JIS 80) is also available for retro fitting. Option-
ally, the instrument can be also equipped with an adapter flange from
DN 100 (ASME 4" or JIS 100).
With the housing versions plastic, aluminium single chamber and
stainless steel, the collar flange can be placed directly over the hous-
ing. With the aluminium double chamber housing, retroactive mount-
ing in this way is not possible - the mounting type must be specified
with the order.
You can find drawings of these mounting options in chapter "
Dimen-
sions
".

The strap is supplied unassembled and must be screwed to the
sensor before setup with three hexagon socket screws M5 x 10 and
spring washers. Max. torque, see chapter "
