Installation
In situations where the tank is suspended, the
transmitter should always be installed in a point
below the connection using the sealing system
with capillary connection. This type of installation
is required when you want to mount the
transmitter in a better position for viewing (Fig. 3) .
Note: Evaluate what type of product is to be
measured. Aggressive products can damage the
membrane of the sensor element or of the o´ring
seal. That is why it is necessary to determine the
compatability of the product before the unit is
purchased and installed. (Fig. 4).
Install the transmitter so that the electrical cable
dips below the transmitter (or makes a "U") so that
water can drain off the cable without the risk of
infiltrating into the transmitter (Fig 5).
Use a cable with vent tube for all Sitron transmitter
models so that the linearity of the output signal and
the operation of the unit is not compromised (this
special cable can also be provided by Sitron) (Fig.
7).
Avoid installing the transmitter underneath a tank
or were splashing or overflow of the product might
damage the unit. If this is unavoidable, install a
barrier to protect the unit from the product
infiltrating from the outside of the transmitter.
This may also be recommended when the
installation is in an open environment. Weather
variations can create internal condensation, so it
is best to avoid exposing the transmitter to direct
