4.1 General instructions
Ondeviceswithathreadedtting,thehexagonontheprocesstting
must be tightened with a suitable wrench.
See chapter "Dimensions"forwrenchsize.
Warning:
The housing or the electrical connection may not be used for screw-
ing in! Depending on the device version, tightening can cause dam-
age, e. g. to the rotation mechanism of the housing.
Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following
measures:
• Use a suitable connection cable (see chapter "Connectingto
power supply")
• Tighten the cable gland or plug connector
• Lead the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry or
plug connector
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where high
humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled
or heated vessels.
Note:
Makesurethatthedegreeofcontaminationspeciedinchapter
"Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions.
Note:
Make sure that during installation or maintenance no moisture or dirt
can get inside the instrument.
To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is
closed during operation and locked, if necessary.
Metric threads
In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
glands are screwed in at the factory.They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.
NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The
free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust
protection caps as transport protection.The dust protection caps do
notprovidesucientprotectionagainstmoisture.
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.
Note:
For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the
permissibleprocessconditions.Youcannddetailedinformationon

the process conditions in chapter "Technical data" of the operating
instructions or on the type label.
Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex-
posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
• Active measuring component
• Processtting
• Process seal
Process conditions in particular are:
• Process pressure
• Process temperature
• Chemical properties of the medium
• Abrasionandmechanicalinuences
4.2 Mounting instructions
In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
sensor in the center of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
nearly down to the lowest point of the bottom. Keep in mind that
measurement all the way down to the tip of the probe may not be pos-
sible.Theexactvalueofthemin.distance(lowerdeadzone)isstated
in chapter "Technical data".
Fig. 4: Vessel with conical bottom
Before beginning the welding work, remove the electronics module
from the sensor. By doing this, you avoid damage to the electronics
through inductive coupling.
Donotmounttheinstrumentsinorabovethellingstream.Makesure
thatyoudetecttheproductsurface,nottheinowingproduct.

The reference plane for the measuring range of the sensors is the
sealingsurfaceofthethreadorange.
Keep in mind that a min. distance must be maintained below the refer-
ence plane and possibly also at the end of the probe - measurement
intheseareasisnotpossible(deadzone).Thesedeadzonesare
listed in chapter "Technical data". Keep in mind for the adjustment that
the default setting for the measuring range refers to water.
Theprocessttingmustbesealedifthereisgaugeorlowpressurein
the vessel. Before use, check if the seal material is resistant against
the measured product and the process temperature.
Themax.permissiblepressureisspeciedinchapter"Technical
data" or on the type label of the sensor.
If there is a risk of the coaxial probe touching the vessel wall during
operation due to product movements or agitators, etc., the measuring
probeshouldbesecurelyxed.
Avoidundenedvesselconnections,i.e.theconnectionmustbe
eithergroundedreliablyorisolatedreliably.Anyundenedchangeof
this condition can lead to measurement errors.
If there is a danger of the coaxial probe touching the vessel wall, then
the probe must be fastened at the bottom end.
Keep in mind that measurement is not possible below the fastening
point.

Make sure that the entire installation is carried out according to the
Fieldbusspecication.Inparticular,makesurethatthebusistermi-
nated with suitable terminating resistors.
Metric threads
In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
glands are screwed in at the factory.They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
Note:
You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.
NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The
free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust
protection caps as transport protection.
Note:
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.
On plastic housings, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube
must be screwed into the threaded insert without grease.
