Factory Calibration Note
The instrument is factory calibrated to the applications as specified at the time of order. There is no need to perform
any verification or calibration steps prior to installing and placing the instrument in service, unless the application
has been varied.
Pre-Installation Procedure
Warning: Only qualified personnel should install this instrument. Install and follow safety procedures in
accordance with the current National Electrical Code. Ensure that power is off during
installation. Any instances where power is applied to the instrument will be noted in this manual.
Where the instructions call for the use of electrical current, the operator assumes all responsibility
for conformance to safety standards and practices.
Caution: The instrument is not designed for weld-in-place applications. Never weld to process connection
or a structural support.
Damage resulting from moisture penetration of the local or remote enclosure is not covered by
product warranty.
Prepare or Verify Sensing Element Location
Prepare the process pipe for installation, or inspect the already prepared location to ensure that the instrument will fit
into the system.
Mount the sensing element at least 20 diameters downstream and 10 diameters upstream from any bends or
interference in the process pipe or duct to achieve the greatest accuracy.
Verify Dimensions
Verify the instrument's dimensions versus the process location to be sure of a correct fit. Also see Appendix A for
dimensions.
