Fig. 3: Measures against moisture ingress
The process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or low pressure
in the vessel. Before use, check if the sealing material is resistant
against the measured product and the process temperature.
The max. permissible pressure is specified in chapter " Technical
data" or on the type label of the sensor.
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.
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.

Mounting instructions

If the instrument is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false
measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount the
instrument at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from
filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur.
