ANALYZER LOOP INSTALLATION
KAM CONTROLS recommends this installation for 3/4" & 1" MNPT OFD™ sensors.
We recommend using thread sealant and not teflon tape for the OFD™ sensor threads.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE ENCLOSURE TO TIGHTEN OR LOOSEN THE OFD. THIS CAN CAUSE THE PROBE TO
COME UNDONE AND THE FIBER CABLE TO BREAK. Please refer to “Do’s and Don’ts” on pages 8-9.
KAM 3/4" and 1" MNPT OFD™ sensors should be
installed according to FIG. 3-10. The OFD™ sen-
sor should be installed in an analyzer loop in such a
fashion that the flow sweeps across the probe lens
rather than rushing directly at the probe. The reason
for this is to:
1) obtain a credible reading of the product
pipeline interface
2) keep the lens of the probe clean and abrasion
free. If the OFD™ is installed with the product
rushing directly at the probe, particles in the pipeline
can scratch the lens causing abrasions and resulting
in a non-credible reading.
You do not need to measure for insertion distance
on the fast loop models.
