4 Installation
4.1 Pipe/tube requirements
Correctly sized gaskets
Correct aligned flanges and gaskets
Diameter mismatch at the pipe junctions should be avoided but must be less than 1mm. For
further information see ISO 14511
Ensure clean pipes after installation
.
4.2 Inlet / outlet runs
In order to maintain the accuracy stipulated in the data sheets, the sensor must be inserted in the
centre of a straight pip e section with an undisturbed flow progression.
An undisturbed flow progression is achieved if the sections in front of the sensor (inlet) and behind the
sensor (outlet) are sufficiently long, straight and without any obstructions such as edges, seams,
curves etc.
Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the recommended inlet and outlet runs.

4.4 Installation of the Sensor
4.4.1 Mounting VA 500 onto the ball valve
Assembly is carried out by inserting the connection thread with gasket. (G1/2“
thread, SW 32) into the ball valve with ½"internal thread.
The sensor has be tighten by hand as far as possible and then tighten with
stipulated torque of 25-30 Nm.
It must be ensured that the installation is pressure-tight.
The sensor is then inserted to the required immersion depth (sensor tip in the
middle of pipe) and aligned according to the direction of the airflow.
A depth scale engraved on the probe tube, a flow alignment arrow and an
aligning device will be of help for you.
Once the sensor has been aligned the adapter sleeve must be tighten with
stipulated torque of 20-30Nm (SW 17).
Attention: Alignment of the sensor must not be modified when tightening the connection thread and
adapter sleeve. In this case, please check the immersion depth and alignment again and
correct it if necessary. The angular deviation should not be greater than 2° in relation to
ideal position as otherwise the measuring accuracy will decrease.
