Warranty
The manufacturer warrants this instrument to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use
and service for the period of two years from date of purchase. This warranty extends only to the original purchaser.
This warranty shall not apply to fuses, batteries, or any product which has been subject to misuse, neglect,
accident, or abnormal conditions of operation.
In the event of failure of a product covered by this warranty, the manufacturer will repair the instrument when it is
returned by the purchaser, freight prepaid, to an authorized Service Facility within the applicable warranty period,
provided manufacturer’s examination discloses to its satisfaction that the product was defective. The manufacturer
may, at its option, replace the product in lieu of repair. With regard to any covered product returned within the
applicable warranty period, repairs or replacement will be made without charge and with return freight paid by the
manufacturer, unless the failure was caused by misuse, neglect, accident, or abnormal conditions of operation or
storage, in which case repairs will be billed at a reasonable cost. In such a case, an estimate will be submitted
before work is started, if requested.
The foregoing warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, including but not limited to any
implied warranty of merchantability, fitness, or adequacy for any particular purpose or use. The manufacturer shall
not be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise.

Unlatch the ThermoJacket end cap. Pull the end cap from the ThermoJacket body.
Firmly screw the spacer ring followed by the nose
adapter onto the sensing head.
Hint: Lightly coat the outer groove on the nose adapter
with silicon grease to make a later removal easier.
Place the rear adapter over the connector end of the
sensing head, and slide it forward until it rests against
the sensing head body. Tighten the rear adapter set
screws with a 1/8 in hex key to secure it to the head.
Do not exceed 2.8 Nm (25 lbf in) torque.
Figure 3-1: Sensor with Rear Adapter, Spacer
Ring, and Nose Adapter
Firmly screw the nose adapter onto the sensing head.
Hint: Lightly coat the outer groove on the nose
adapter with silicon grease to make a later removal
easier.
Figure 3-2: Sensor with Nose Adapter
The cable compression fitting has a split gland that fits over the sensor cable with a cap and body that slide over
the connector to facilitate installation.
Figure 3-3: Cable Compression Fitting
Remove cable compression gland assembly from the ThermoJacket. Disassemble the cable compression gland
assembly (30 mm wrench required). Slide compression cap and then the body over the cable connector and
down the cable. Slip gland around the cable in between the cap and body. Route the cable connector through
the bottom of the ThermoJacket body. Attach compression body to ThermoJacket. Tighten cap to body.
Connect and tighten the cable connector to the sensing head, and slide the head into the ThermoJacket body
cavity, lens first. For Endurance sensors: Make sure the connector post on the sensing head is touching or nearly
touching the low end of the cam ramp located on the inside of the ThermoJacket body.
Place the ThermoJacket end cap back onto the body, and latch the end cap to the body.

Removal of the sensor is the reverse of installation.
To aid removal, firmly rotate the head so the head
connector post slides across (up) the cam ramp.
Figure 3-4: Sensor with Rear Adapter
To aid removal, firmly rotate the head so the head
connector post slides across (up) the cam ramp. If
needed, use the extraction tool E-TJET available as
accessory.

3.3 Water Cooling
The ThermoJacket body is equipped with one H2O-in port and one H2O-out port. These stainless-steel tubes have
an outer diameter of 5/16” (8 mm) or can be connected to existing plumbing with the two supplied fittings (Parker
Hannifin Corp., part number 5FSC4N-316). These fittings made from stainless steel 316 SS couple directly to the
stainless-steel tube and have a female 1/4” NPT for field connections.
If the 1/4” NPT is not acceptable for your installation, then direct connection to the stainless-steel tubes is possible
or Parker Hannifin Corp. offers numerous swage-lock fittings.
Connect the water supply line to the stainless-steel tube H2O-in port and the water return line to the stainless-steel
tube H2O-out port. To determine approximate flow rates at given ambient temperatures see section 2.1 General
Specifications, page 12. Flow may be increased to compensate for greater water inlet temperatures.
To control water pressure, use the water flow regulator accessory. The water flow regulator is equipped with two
female 1/4” NPT ports. To ensure leak-free connections, use Teflon® tape or equivalent water pipe sealant to plumb
the ThermoJacket and water flow regulator.
An installation overview you can find in section 6 Exemplary Installation, page 37.
Note
Care should be taken to properly insulate coolant lines!
3.3.1 Installation of the Tube Fittings
The following steps explain the installation of the tube fittings to the cooling tubes of the ThermoJacket.
1. Insert tubing into the Swagelok tube fitting.
2. Make sure that the tubing rests firmly on the shoulder of
the tube fitting body and that the nut is finger-tight.
3. Scribe the nut at the 6 o’clock position.
4. While holding the fitting body steady with a back-up
wrench, tighten the nut 1 ¼ turns to the 9 o’clock
position.

3.3.2 Reassembly of the Tube Fittings
You may disassemble and reassemble a Swagelok tube fitting as often as required.
1. Insert tubing with pre-swaged ferrules into the fitting
body until the front ferrule seats.
2. Rotate the nut with a wrench to the previously pulled-up
position. At this point, a significant increase in
resistance will be encountered.
3. Tighten slightly with a wrench.
3.4 Air Cooling
The H2O ports are also designed to use air for cooling, for further information see section 3.3 Water Cooling,
page 17.
To control air flow, use the air flow regulator accessory, see section 4.9 Air Flow Regulator (A-TJ-AFR), page 33.
3.5 Air Purging
Connect the air line to the female 1/4” NPT air-in port. Control the air flow with an air flow regulator. Air flow for
purging should be approximately 46 l / min (1.6 foot³ / min) and filtered through a pressure regulator with an integral
filter to prevent oil and contaminant build-up on the sensor lens. Connect the air flow regulator between the
ThermoJacket and the air pressure regulator. To ensure leak-free connections, use Teflon tape or equivalent pipe
sealant.
