1. Before You Begin
This guide provides basic guidelines to assist you in quickly getting started. Go to our website to download the
full User Guide for detailed installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and safety precautions.
The user must take note of the safety instructions in this operating instructions manual, the country
specic installation standards as well as all prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules.
The instrument must only be operated in a technically awless and reliable condition. The operator is
responsible for trouble-free operation of the instrument. During the entire duration of use, the user is
obliged to determine the compliance of the required occupational safety measures with the current valid
rules and regulations and also take note of new regulations.

Keep in mind that the cable/rod is kept away from obstructions within vessel. The obstructions like: ladders,
limit switches, heating spirals, struts and etc. Further more, rope or rods must not intersect the lling
streams.
Be cautious during the installation: the level of the measured cable medium must not be in the blanking
zone the mounting location must keep a min distance to the vessel wall, the cable or rod is perpendicular to
the surface of the measured medium.
Note: The level of the measured medium must not be in either the blanking zone.
The best mounting location for a conical vessel with at top is the centre of the vessel's top, as the eective
measurement can reach the bottom of vessel.

Avoid installation with socket if possible, otherwise try to minimize the length of socket. In case of long
stand pipe, small vessel or medium with low dielectric constant.
1 Wrong: The rod/rope is in/above lling stream, which results in the measurement of lling stream not the
target medium.
2 Correct
Note: Sun shield or rain-proof is suggested for outdoor mounting.

When mounting outdoors, humid indoors or on cooling/heating vessels, in order to avoid damp seal rings
used on cables should be screwed tight, and the cable must be bended downward outside cable entry, as
indicated on the diagram below:
Power supply and current signal are carried by the same two-wire connection cable. See the Technical Speci-
cations of this guide for detailed requirement on power supply.
