249 Series Sensors
D
The Type 249, 249B, 249C, 249K, and 249L
sensors side-mount on the vessel with the displacer
mounted inside a cage (caged) outside the vessel.
D
The Type 249BP and 249CP sensors
top-mount on the vessel with the displacer hanging
down into the vessel (cageless).
D
The Type 249V sensor side-mounts on the
vessel with the displacer hanging out into the vessel
(cageless).
D
The Type 249W sensor top-mounts on the
vessel or on a customer supplied cage.
External sensors provide more stable operation than
do internal sensors for vessels with internal
obstructions or considerable internal turbulence.
WARNING
When replacing the sensor assembly,
the displacer may retain process liquid
or pressure. Personal injury or
property damage due to sudden
release of pressure, contact with
hazardous liquid, fire, or explosion can
be caused by puncturing, heating, or
repairing a displacer that is retaining
