Mounting with a crane
Warning:
Check the hoisting equipment for sufficient lifting capacity.
You can find the device weight in the "
Technical data
".
Persons must never stand beneath the loads.
The source holder is screwed onto a transport board. Loosen the
screws and lift the source holder from the transport board. For this
purpose you have to use the lifting lugs of the source holder.
Use a suitable lifting tackle (lifting strap, etc.) to fasten the source
holder to the crane hook.
Versions with manual switching ON/OFF
Protect the source holder against moisture and hence against cor-
rosion. If the source holder is exposed directly to the elements, you
should cover it with a roof or a suitable protective bonnet.
If you expect heavy soiling or dust on the source holder, use the
optional protective cap.
Version with position switches
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "
Connecting to power
supply
") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable gland. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This
applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas
where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or
on cooled or heated vessels.
