Installing the transducer
NOTICE!
Interference in function
Improper installation can compromise the function of the
transducer and result in increased wear.
►
Only vertical mounting from above is permitted!
►
The mounting surface of the transducer must
make full contact with the mounting surface and
be perfectly sealed through the use of a seal and
tri-clamp.
►
Mounting must be done in a manner where the rod
cannot touch the container wall. Deflection of the
rod to the side, e.g. through flow currents, must
be prevented by a suitable, cleanable bracket or
appropriate positioning in the tank.
