3. INSTALLATION
3-1. Unpacking and checking
When you receive the ISC40PR retractable
fitting it is packed in a cardboard box.
Open the box and check that the model
code on the fitting is the same as the one
on the packing list. See §2-2 for the model
code. Also check that it is supplied with the
options you ordered.
The options can be delivered in separate
boxes. If you have any problems or
questions, contact your nearest Yokogawa
service centre or sales organisation for
support.
The ISC40PR retractable fitting has an
identification plate on the protection ring
with the full model code and a serial
number.
3-2. Installation site
The ISC40PR fitting is intended to be used
for in-line conductivity measurement. When
it is delivered with an optional ball valve or
when it is used in combination with a
locally purchased ball valve, the process
need not be interrupted for maintenance of
the sensor.
The location can be in a large diameter
pipeline or a vessel.
3-3. Safety precautions
The ISC40PR fitting has been designed to
give maximum safety in operation. For
optimum safety a flanged ball-valve is
recommended.
Yokogawa does not accept any claims or
penalties on possible damages or
accidents which occurred by operation of
the ISC40PR fitting.
The installation of the probe is to be
implemented under the local safety
regulations for pressurised vessels or pipe
lines for retraction or insertion.
The instructions given in this manual must
be followed exactly.
3-4. Installation method
It is important to have the point of
measurement in a location that is truly
representing the process composition.
Check whether the specifications of the
sensor fulfil the maximum occurring
process conditions. The fitting has several
optional connection possibilities. Check
that you received the correct size and type.
Install the fitting in a convenient location for
maintenance and calibration. For
maintenance or calibration the probe will
need a space of about 2 metre for total
retraction (depending on probe length and
optional adapters and/or ball valves).
Installation in a bend of a pipe line is a
good measurement position. When
inserting the ISC40PR retractable fitting in
a perpendicular position to the process
flow, the flow velocity will put a mechanical
force on the probe. Take care that this
force is not too large.
Note:
Do not insert the fitting into the process
without the sensor mounted! The sensor
is delivered separately in a box.
Start with the assembly of the sensor into
the probe and follow the instructions for
the preparation of a new sensor. See §3-8.
3-5. Assembly of accessories
Optional accessories are (mostly) delivered
separately in boxes.
When a ball valve is ordered as an option,
this should be mounted to the measuring
position first. When the ball valve is in
place, the process line is secure.
If the ball valve has a tapered connection, it
needs to be locked with glue.
Next the adapter at the other side of the
ball valve needs to be mounted. This
adapter has ISO 228/1-G2 male thread at
one side and a matching connection for the
ball valve at the other side. Mount the
adapter on the ball valve and lock it with
glue.
