We herewith give a list of some precautions and warnings concerning the application and installation
of the electronic pressure –and level transmitters, SERIES-RANGE-VALVE
Check if the specifications of the transmitter meet the needs of the process conditions.
BE SURE THE VALVE IS CLOSED WHEN TRANSMITTERIS RETRACTED FROM VALVE
When the Series 2000-VALVE-RANGE is used as a level transmitter, be aware of the place
where the transmitter is mounted. Here are some suggestions:
1. DO NOT mount a level transmitter in- or near filling or discharging pipes.
2. In case of automatic cleaning systems or hand cleaning: never point the water
jets on the diaphragm, take necessary steps to avoid this.
Guarantee will not be granted.
When the Series 2000-VALVE-RANGE is used as a pressure transmitter, be aware of the
following points:
1. Rapid closing valves in combination with high flow velocity will cause water
hammer(spikes) and can destroy the transmitter. DO NOT mount a transmitter near
such valves, always a few pipe bends away up or down stream (avoid suction).
2. Install a pressure transmitter a few pipe bends away from pumps, as well on the
suction or pressure side of the pump
WELDING ADVISEMENT:
When using the SERIES 2000-VALVE-RANGE the welding advisements on page 4/5/6 must be
followed exactly. This is very important to prevent distortion of the weld spud.
The diaphragm of the SERIES 2000-VALVE-RANGE is protected with a special protection
cap. Protect the diaphragm until installation takes place, to prevent damaging of the
diaphragm.
As soon as the wiring is brought inside through the PG9 cable gland and connected to
the terminal board, make sure the cable gland is tightly fixed, so that moisture cannot
enter into the electronic housing.
NEVER unscrew the venting (3), because it is especially designed to prevent moisture from
entering into the electronic housing. If the ambient conditions are very wet, we advise to use
a venting through the cable. A special vented cable can be delivered on request.
Avoid high pressure water-jets pointed at the venting.
The cover must be fully engaged so that moisture cannot enter into the electronic housing.
WARRANTY: The warranty is 1 year from delivery date.
