•User's Responsibility for Safety: KOBOLD manufactures a
wide range of process sensors and technologies. While each
of these technologies are designed to operate in a wide
variety of applications, it is the user's responsibility to select a
technology that is appropriate for the application, to install it
properly, to perform tests of the installed system, and to
maintain all components. The failure to do so could result in
property damage or serious injury.
•Wiring and Electrical: Because this is an electrically
operated device, only properly trained personnel should install
and maintain this product. Be sure that the power supplied to
the unit is appropriate for the electronics version supplied.
Electrical wiring of the sensor MUST be performed in
accordance with all applicable national, state and local codes
AND in accordance with the most recent version of the
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (NEC) Articles 500
thorough 505.
•Make a Fail-Safe System: Design a fail-safe system
that accommodates the possibility of sensor, relay or
power failure. In critical applications, KOBOLD
recommends the use of redundant backup systems and
alarms in addition to the primary system.
•Hazardous Location Approval: CSA approved to
standards CSA 30 and U.L. 1203, Explosion-Proof for
Class 1, Div 1 Groups A, B, C, D and Div. 2 Groups A,
B, C, D for use in Hazardous Areas
• - ANSI/ISA 12.27.01-2003 Single
Seal Approved
• - CE EN61326 as per CECV,
Canadian Electrical Code

Installation:
1. Mount the transmitter so that the sensor port will not
become clogged with sediment or debris that could
hamper the sensing ability.
2. Although the transmitter is highly vibration resistant, it is
always good practice to mount the device appropriately to
minimize any potentially damaging shock and vibration.
3. Apply PTFE tape, or other appropriate thread sealant to
the NPT pressure fitting thread before installation. Tighten
the device using the 7/8” Hex next to the pressure
connection. DO NOT USE A PIPE WRENCH ON THE
TRANSMITTER HOUSING!
