Dimensions → see the Technical Information for Deltapilot S TI00416P, "Mechanical
construction" section.
5.1.2 General installation instructions
• Devices with a G 1 1/2 thread:
When screwing the device into the tank, the flat seal has to be positioned on the sealing
surface of the process connection. To avoid additional strain on the process membrane, the
thread should never be sealed with hemp or similar materials.
• Devices with NPT threads:
• Wrap Teflon tape around the thread to seal it.
• Tighten the device at the hexagonal bolt only. Do not turn at the housing.
• Do not overtighten the thread when screwing. Max. tightening torque:
20 to 30 Nm (14.75 to 22.13 lbf ft)
5.2 Mounting the device
• Due to the orientation of the Deltapilot S, a zero point shift may occur, i.e. when the vessel
is empty, the measured value does not display zero. You can correct this zero point shift
either directly on the device via the  button or via remote operation.
• To ensure optimum readability of the local display, it is possible to rotate the housing by up
to 380°.
• The local display can be rotated in 90° stages.
• Endress+Hauser offers a mounting bracket for installation on pipes or walls.
5.2.1 Installation instructions
NOTICE
Damage to the device!
If a heated device is cooled during a cleaning process (e.g. by cold water), a vacuum develops
for a short time and, as a result, moisture can enter the sensor through the pressure
compensation element (1).
‣Mount the device with the pressure compensation element (1) pointing diagonally
downwards or to the side as much possible.

• Keep the pressure compensation and GORE-TEX® filter (1) free from contamination and
water.
• Do not clean or touch process membranes with hard or pointed objects.
• The device must be installed as follows in order to comply with the cleanability
requirements of the ASME-BPE (Part SD Cleanability):

Level measurement
• Always install the device below the lowest measuring point.
• Do not install the device at the following positions:
• In the filling curtain
• In the tank outlet
• In the suction area of a pump
• At a point in the tank which could be affected by pressure pulses from the agitator
• The adjustment and functional test can be carried out more easily if you mount the device
downstream from a shutoff device.
• The Deltapilot S must also be insulated in the case of media that can harden when cold.
Pressure measurement in gases
Mount the Deltapilot S with shutoff device above the tapping point so that any condensate
can flow into the process.
Pressure measurement in vapors
• Mount the Deltapilot S with the water pocket pipe above the tapping point.
• Fill the water pocket pipe with liquid before commissioning. The water pocket pipe reduces
the temperature to almost ambient temperature.
Pressure measurement in liquids
Mount the Deltapilot S with the shutoff device below or at the same level as the tapping point.
5.2.2 Turning the housing
The housing can be rotated by up to 380° by loosening the setscrew.

5.2.3 Closing the housing covers
NOTICE
Devices with EPDM cover seal - leaking transmitter!
Mineral-, animal- or plant-based lubricants cause the EPDM cover seal to swell and the
transmitter to leak as a result.
‣It is not necessary to grease the thread due to the coating applied to the thread at the
factory.
NOTICE
The housing cover can no longer be closed.
Damaged thread!
‣When closing the housing covers make sure that the threads on the covers and the housing
are free from dirt, such as sand. If you encounter resistance when closing the covers, then
check the threads again for dirt.
Closing the covers on the hygienic stainless steel housing (T17)
The covers for the terminal compartment and electronics compartment are hooked into the
housing and closed with a screw in each case. These screws must be tightened finger-tight (2
Nm (1.48 lbf ft)) to the stop to ensure that the covers are securely seated and leak-tight.

6.1 Connecting requirements
LWARNING
Risk of electric shock!
If the operating voltage is > 35 VDC: Dangerous contact voltage at terminals.
‣In a wet environment, do not open the cover if voltage is present.
