Installation instructions
WARNING
For pressure applications, it will be necessary to use PTFE tape or other appropriate thread
sealing compound, and to tighten the process connection beyond hand-tight. (The
maximum recommended torque for Threaded versions is 40 N-m (30 ft.lbs.) See Flange
bolting, Flanged encapsulated antenna only (Page 23) for FEA recommended torque
values.)
Note
•
On devices with a removable head, there is no limit to the number of times a device can
be rotated without damage.
•
When mounting, orient the front or back of the device towards the closest wall.
•
Do not rotate the enclosure after programming and vessel calibration, otherwise an error
may occur, caused by a polarity shift of the transmit pulse.
Threaded versions
1. Before inserting the device into its mounting connection, check to ensure the threads are
matching, to avoid damaging them.
2. Simply screw the device into the process connection, and hand tighten, or use a wrench.
For pressure applications see Warning above.
Flanged versions
See Flanged Horn with extension (Page 210), Raised-Face Flange per EN 1092-1 (Page 222),
Flat-Face Flange (Page 225), and Flanged encapsulated antenna (3"/DN80/80A sizes and
larger) (Page 216) for dimensions.
