Table 3-8 Procedure For Inserting Sensor Into Pressurized Process - Honeywell 5000TC Series Operation And Maintenance Manual

Insertion into Pressurized Process
After mounting the insertion hardware assembly, calibrating the sensor with the transmitter and installing
the sensor into the hardware, the sensor may be inserted into the pressurized process.
WARNING
Inserting a sensor into a pressurized process may be dangerous. Do not stand directly behind the assembly
when opening the ball valve. Depending on the process pressure, the extractor shaft may travel rapidly
outward before the retaining cap (item G) can be tightly fastened.

Step
Turn the ball valve (item B) to the fully open position.
1
2 Slowly and firmly insert the sensor/extractor shaft assembly into the insertion hardware assembly
until the metal inner collar (item E) is pressing against the threaded end of the flanged bushing (item
D).
Tighten the retaining cap (item G) onto the bushing.

ATTENTION
When a water line is connected to the insertion hardware assembly and the process pressure is high, open the
water shutoff valve to help counterbalance the process pressure and minimize the force needed to insert the
sensor.
The sensor is now inserted to its preset insertion depth.
