Section 3: Installation

Installation
The following guidelines should be considered when mounting the transmitter:
Do not mount close to inlet pipes.
Do not mount close to agitators. If the probe can move to within 11.8 in. (30 cm) away
from an agitator, a probe tie-down is recommended.
If the probe tends to sway due to turbulent conditions in the tank, the probe should be
anchored to the tank bottom.
Avoid mounting close to heating coils.
Make sure the nozzle does not extend into the tank.
Make sure the probe does not come into contact with the nozzle or other objects in the
tank.
Position the probe such that it is subject to a minimum of lateral force.
Note
Violent fluid movements causing high sideway forces may break rigid probes.
3.4.6 Insulated tanks
For insulated tanks, the permitted ambient temperature is limited above a certain process
temperature. Limitations depend on the thickness of the tank insulation, see “Ambient
temperature” on page 123 for more information.
