TRANSMITTER MOUNTING

Orient the process flanges to enable process connections to be
made.
It is important to mount the transmitter and to lay the process
piping so that gas bubbles, when measuring liquids, or
condensate when measuring gases, can flow back into the
process.
The vent/drain screw valves has to be ordered higher than the
taps on liquid service in order to allow the venting of entrapped
gas or below the taps on gas service in order to allow the drain
of condensate.
For safety reasons, orient the drain/vent valves so that process
fluid is directed down and away from technicians when the
valve is used. This can be accomplished by pointing the hole
in the outside valve body downward and away. In addition,
consider the need for a testing or calibration input, and provide
space for the housing covers to be removed for electrical wiring
and maintenance.
WARNING !
Process leaks may cause harm or result in death.
Install and tighten process connectors and all accessories
(including manifolds) before applying pressure.
In case of toxic or otherwise dangerous process fluid, take
any precautions as recommended in the relevant Material
Safety Data Sheet when draining or venting.
Use only a 12 mm (15/32 ") hexagonal spanner to tighten
the bracket bolts.
