General information on handling
The flow sensor
SS 20.500
is a precision instrument with high measuring
sensitivity, which can be achieved only by means of fine structure of the
measuring probe (see Figure 3-1).
Therefore, avoid applying mechanical
force to the probe tip.
Figure 3-1
Especially when inserting or extracting the probe into/from through-chan-
nels (e.g. in a through-bolt joint) even slight tilting can lead to damage of
the tip.
Therefore,
SCHMIDT Technology
delivers the sensor with a protective
cap
5
placed onto the probe tip, which should be removed only during final
installation in longitudinal direction. Moreover, vice versa when dismount-
ing the sensor the protective cap must be attached in place immediately.
When handling the sensor generally proceed with great care.
The sensor probe can be damaged irreversibly due to mechani-
cal loads.
Leave the protective cap during mounting as long as possible
attached and handle the sensor with care.
