2.4.1 Inlet and outlet
2.4.2 Mounting position
Figure 2-1: Recommended inlet and outlet sections
1 ≥10 DN
2 ≥5 DN
Figure 2-2: Mounting position
1 Flow profile must be fully developped.
2 Welding instructions: the electrodes must point to the side of the pipeline!
3 Insert the OPTIPROBE perpendicular.
4 Insertion length ≥25mm.
5 DN ≥80mm.
CAUTION!
The OPTIPROBE is a sensor which measures flow speed at one point in the pipe.
In case the flow speed has to be converted into a volume, please note that the measured value
depends on the used diameter and the insertion length, because the OPTIPROBE decreases the
inner surface of the pipe at the measuring section. The corrected GKl value for any other
installation condition can be calculated as:
All measures in mm
GKl

is GKl on nameplate

2.5 Mounting and dismounting
The following instruction is to be used when it is necessary to mount or dismount the
OPTIPROBE measuring sensor (model B only !).
Dismounting
1. Make sure that the safety chain is correctly installed to secure the OPTIPROBE
2. Loosen the bolt 1in picture below, until the unit can be slided out of the gland. Be aware that
if the pressure is sufficiently high the unit can slide out without pulling, or even force out when
pressure in the installation is high.
3. Slide out the OPTIPROBE unit as far as possible (allowed by the chain).
4. Close the valve. Remind that the volume above the valve is still pressurized.
5. Loosen the bolts 2in picture below, to release pressure.
6 Dismount the chain and remove the OPTIPROBE.
Mounting the OPTIPROBE
1. Loosen the bolt 1in picture above, until the unit can be slided in the gland.
2. Loosen the bolts 2in picture above ( if necessary, it can make it easier to slide the unit back
in).
3 Mount the security chain and make sure it is correctly assembled
4. Tighten the bolts 2in picture above. Be sure the safety chain is attached and the bolts are
tighted !
5 Carefully open the valve.
6. Slide in the OPTIPROBE into the desired position. This might require force, depending on the
pressure in the installation.
7. Tighten bolt 1in picture above.

3.2 Connection diagram
•The outer shield of the signal cable in the signal converter housing is connected via the strain
relief terminal.
•Bending radius of signal and field current cable: ≥50 mm / 2".
•The following illustration is schematic. The positions of the electrical connection terminals
may vary depending on the type of converter.
DANGER!
All work on the electrical connections may only be carried out with the power disconnected. Take
note of the voltage data on the nameplate!
DANGER!
Observe the national regulations for electrical installations!
WARNING!
Observe without fail the local occupational health and safety regulations. Any work done on the
electrical components of the measuring device may only be carried out by properly trained
specialists.
INFORMATION!
Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order.
Check for the correct supply voltage printed on the nameplate.
