■ Lateral installation
Model LSO.06 built-in to pipe or tank wall
laterally, here, for example, as dry-run
protection into the suction or pressure line of
a pump, slightly offset from the centre and
provided with a screen so that it is unaffect-
ed by gas bubbles.
In the model LSO.06 used here, the
measurement length ML is fixed at 25 mm.
6.2 Mechanical installation
6.2.1 Transducer model LSO.06
CAUTION!
Carried out work only after a complete pressure balance.
Take corresponding safety and environmental protective measures.
The glass tip should have a distance of at least 10 mm to an opposite wall after assembly
having been carried out. This minimum distance can vary depending on geometry and
surface composition of the wall (e.g. with electropolished pipes 20 ... 30 mm).
Screw directly into the corresponding threaded coupling using a metallic seal or, with the
flanged version, connect with a flange (observe DIN/ANSI).
CAUTION!
Assemble the transducer with caution and care, particularly respected on
the break risk of the glass. Take measures for the protection of the trans-
ducer head if a lateral load has to be expected. The operating company
has to provide the suitable choice of the seal diameters and materials. The
torque corresponds in the pipe line engineering for usual values. Install the
transducer unstressedly.
The transducer may not be charged at the side under any fuss when
installing and in the built-in condition at the sensor head (see chapter
"9.2 Repair"). When screwing into a connection thread do not use the
sensor head for turning.
