2.2 Sensor Installation Requirements
The following requirements must be considered before installing the sensors at the
measurement site.
For systems with purging, do not install the sensors without access to purging air or steam.
Be sure to have sufficient space around the sensors, to ensure easy service. There must be
enough space to enable removing of the sensor lids and adjustment of the sensors.

The Hybrid and Loop Cables

2.3.1

Cable Installation Requirements

The following requirements must be considered before installing the cables at the
measurement site.
The hybrid cables should be installed in a way that protects them from mechanical wear
such as sharp edges or moving parts. Operating temperature for the cables is -40 to +80°C
(-40 to + 176°F). Installation temperature for the cables is -20 to +80°C (-4 to + 176°F).
These temperatures refer to both ambient temperature and any parts the cables come in
contact with.
Always protect the single mode fiber (E2000 connector with green color) from dust. Cables
are supplied with a protective tube at each end and inside these a plastic protective cap for
the single mode fiber.
DO NOT remove the protective tube until the cable is installed and ready to be connected
to LDS 6 and sensors. DO NOT remove the plastic protective cap until the cable is routed
inside the LDS 6/sensor. The protective tubes should only be removed by authorized
personnel.
