12.4.1 General installation rules

Risk of injury due to escaping fluids, if pipe connection is faulty
DANGER
▶ Correct slope and mismatch of pipe connections before inserting the sensor.
90 / 180
For compliance with 3-A sanitary standards, a vertical installation of sensor with fluid
flowing upwards (self-draining) is recommended, as shown in figure below.
A horizontal installation of sensor with tubes down, as shown in figure below, shall be
drained via air purge.
For Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) application, the standard minimum flow velocity of
1.5 m/s shall be used for cleaning the sensor. Volumetric flow shall be determined by
using the cross-sectional area at process connection.
General note: It must be ensured that the inner diameter (ID) of adjacent pipe
matches the ID of process connection of the sensor fitting to ensure 3-A compliance.
For compliance of DIN 11851 process connection (process connection HS2) with 3-A
standards, a special sanitary gasket such as the k-flex gasket system by Kieselmann
GmbH, or similar must be used to retain 3-A compliance.
Check packaging and contents for damage.
Do not remove protective materials such as protective stickers or caps on process
connections until the start of the installation process.
Dispose packaging materials in compliance with country-specific regulations.
