Rod extension
Autoclaved version
18
In case of difficult installation conditions, for example in a socket, the
probe can be suitably adapted with a rod extension.
To compensate for the resulting changes in signal runtime, let the
instrument determine the probe length automatically.
You can find further information in the supplementary instructions of
the rod and cable components.
For use in an autoclave, e.g. for sterilization, the SITRANS LG240 is
available as autoclaved version.
Hence you can separate the housing from the process fitting.
Under very harsh ambient conditions, the autoclavable version can be
optionally also combined with an external housing.
Open the slotted nut with a hook wrench and remove the housing in
an upward direction.
The side of the process fitting must be covered with a lid after the
housing is removed. Screw the enclosed lid with slotted nut onto the
instrument side of the process fitting and tighten the nut with a torque
of 20 Nm.
Make sure that no liquid or contamination penetrates into the housing
or the process side.
After autoclaving, screw the lid off again and place the housing verti-
cally on the side of the process fitting. Tighten the slotted nut with a
torque of 20 Nm.
