recommendation
GDS level sensors can be fixed in a vertical, horizontal or bevelled position into the shell of the ves
-
sel, the storage tank for the fixation console in the pit, by screwing into the welding flange, using a
fixing nut or TriClamp® process connection.
Basic application recommendations are mentioned below.
If the sensors are fitted with protective caps at the ends of the electrodes, remove the
caps before commissioning.
In the case of
vertical mounting
it is recommended to
keep the mentioned distances applied to the length of the
electrode (the longer one).

During assembly into the metal tank or the storage tank, it is not necessary to separately ground the
base of the level sensor. In the case of installation in concrete tanks or silos, it is recommended to
install a level sensor on the auxiliary metal construction (console, cap, etc.) and to then connect it
using a permanently dipped metal item or with steel reinforcement in the concrete (armouring).
In the case of the reading of an aggressive medium, we recommend that the producer be consulted.
