SOLITRAC 31 • Four-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART
62085-EN-211203
You can find information on protective barriers and the mounting
of the corresponding source container in the operating instructions
manual of the source container, e.g. VEGASOURCE.
You can mount the SOLITRAC 31 with the housing head upward or
downward. When the housing head is mounted downward, the hous-
ing itself is more easily accessible.
Fasten the sensor in such a way that it cannot fall out of the holder. If
necessary, provide the sensor with a support from below.
Direct the exit angle of the source container to the SOLITRAC 31.
Mount the source container as close as possible to the vessel. If there
are gaps, secure the area with a safety fence and protective grating
so that no one can reach into the dangerous area.
You can mount the sensor on your vessel with the enclosed mounting
clamps. From a sensor length > 1.5 m (4.9 ft) two mounting clamps
are attached to SOLITRAC 31.
Adapt the distances of the attached mounting clamps.

1. Determine the exact mounting position of one or several mounting
clamps and mark the holes.
Align the mounting positions exactly and average the distances
between the enclosed mounting clamps.
Drill appropriate holes (max. M12) for fastening the mounting
clamps.
2. For mounting, insert the detector tube (3) into the V-shape holding
fixture of the console (4).
Draw the hinge bolt clamp (2) according to the illustration through
the console (4).
Screw the hinge bolt clamp (2) together and tighten the screw (1)
with a max. torque of 20 Nm (14.75 lbf/ft).
Note:
The mounting clamps do not come with fastening screws. Use fasten-
ing elements that are appropriate for the situation in your plant.
