Threaded Transducer Mount
A threaded transducer mount may be appropriate for high temperature,
high pressure applications. The threaded transducer mount eliminates
the stagnant region of flow in a standard flange mount (without an
integral neck extension) by flush mounting the probe into the process.
3.5.3.1 Installing a Thread Mount Transducer
•
Prior to installing the transducer, the transducer threads
should be coated with Dow Corning Molykote® P37 or
equivalent anti-seize paste.
•
Care must be taken to avoid thread galling during
installation and removal.
•
Use ONLY the included wrench to install the transducer.
Use of
ANY
other methods or tools
to install the transducer
(pipe wrenches, etc.) will
VOID
the instrument warranty.
Do not install the transducer more than five full rotations
into the mating connector.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
3.6 Transmitter Enclosure Installation
The transmitter and its enclosure should be installed in a suitable location
meeting the requirements set forth in Section 3.4.3. If the ambient temperature
range falls outside the 0-60 °C range of operation, the transmitter must be
installed in a temperature-controlled enclosure or shelter such that the
temperature is maintained between 0-60 °C.
3.7 Transducer Cable Installation
Cable Installation at the Transducer
•
Run the transducer cable through conduit from the transmitter to
the transducer.
No rigid connections should be made to the
transducer
to minimize transmission of vibrations to the transducer
through the cable and conduit.
•
After exiting the rigid conduit, route the transducer cable through
flexible metal conduit (e.g. Sealtite NDA ½” type, minimum length
2’) before connecting to the transducer.
•
Spray the cable connecting receptacle on the transducer with
contact cleaner/moisture repellant.
