3.2 Anchoring
It is recommended that submersible transmitters be installed in a stilling well or
attached to rigid conduit using the integrated conduit fitting to prevent possible
damage to the transmitter from impact with immovable objects.
Some applications require the transmitter to be suspended without a protective
stilling well or conduit attachment. In all installations, care should be taken to
prevent damage to the submersible cable. Do not secure transmitter to
submerged objects such as a pump that will caused difficulty with transmitter
removal.
3.3
S
ubmersion
Blue Ribbon submersible transmitters come standard with Hytrel jacketed cable
to minimize the risk of damage from cuts or abrasions.
Use care when lowering the transmitter into the well making sure the cable does
not drag over sharp edges. Avoid dropping the transmitter from the surface.
Damage to submersible cable can lead to failure of the transmitter.
3.4 Water Intrusion
Although Blue Ribbon employs an integrated hydrophobic filter to minimize
water intrusion to the vent tube, care should be taken when terminating the
device in a dry, safe location to avoid possible water damage.
3.5
Cable Care
The Hytrel cable can support the full weight of the transmitter. Do not bend the
cable more than the suggested bend radius of 2” to ensure the vent tube does
not crimp. This can obstruct the vent tube to atmospheric pressure causing
improper functionality.
If using a junction box care must be taken that the fitting is not over tightened
causing damage to the cable and or crimping to the vent tube.
3.6
Position Sensitivity
The transmitter should be installed in a vertical position otherwise it may read an
offset. If the transmitter must be installed in a position other than vertical,
measure the output with no pressure applied prior to connection to your display,
PLC, or controller Using the value for your zero reading.
