14.3 Assembly
Assemble a VP Series 2000 device as follows:
• Insert the cell.
• Insert the cell retaining ring and hand-tighten it to secure the cell using the VP Series 2000
cell installation tool.
• Insert the e-module by angling and aligning the side with the spring loaded contacts first.
Once the spring loaded contacts are aligned, press gently from the opposite end to apply
radial force that compresses the contacts and then apply light downward pressure to the
opposite end.
• Ensure that the sensor body screw thread is clean.
• Ensure that the o-rings are clean, undamaged and in place.
• Ensure that the enclosure retainer screw thread is clean.
• Place the enclosure retainer over the e-module and fasten it until the sensor body o-ring is
covered.
• Use oscillating turns to hand-tighten the retaining ring to prevent damage to the o-rings.
Warning!
Do not assemble the device in a hazardous environment.
Do not short-circuit the cell.
Do not insert a damaged or leaking cell into the device.
Check the cell polarity when inserting it into the device.
Reverse polarisation may cause damage to the device.
Note!
VP Series 2000 devices should not be assembled in the field.
Ensure that components are clean and dry before assembling the device.
Avoid assembling the device in humid conditions.
Correct assembly is essential to maintain the IP67 rating of the device.
14.4 Device Inspection
Internal device inspection is typically only performed during cell replacement and there is no routine
inspection requirement.
The device needs to be removed from the field and cleaned before disassembled. Once
disassembled the components must be inspected for signs of damage before reassembled.
14.4.1 O-Ring Inspection
Two 34x1 o-ring seals are used to prevent dust and moisture penetration into VP Series 2000
devices. Depending on environmental conditions, these seals may have to be replaced periodically
but typically only whenever the cell is replaced.
Refer to the product data sheet for o-ring seal ordering information.
