5 Installation instructions of TCS-01CA-PMI sensor
Apart from standard equipment, the following tools and material are required for installing the TCS-01CA-PMI
sensor and adaptor:
• A 27 mm open-ended spanner for the adaptor and indicator valve
• A 12 mm open-ended spanner for the TCS-01CA-PMI sensor for mounting on adaptor
• Copper paste or equivalent for the two threaded parts of the adaptor
The Adaptor has two soft iron sealings. One is used for sealing the indicator valve against the adaptor and one
for sealing the adaptor against the indicator flange. A set of soft iron sealings ( 2 pcs. of each size) are supplied
together with the adaptor.
