Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in!
Applying tightening force on the housing can damage its
internal mechanical parts.
To screw in, use the hexagon above the thread.
4.2 Mounting information
The vibrating element should protrude into the vessel to avoid
buildup. For that reason, avoid using mounting bosses for
flanges and screwed fittings. This applies particularly to use
with adhesive products.
Install the instrument in such a way that the tuning fork does
not protrude directly into the filling stream. Should such an
installation location be necessary, mount a suitable baffle
above or in front of the tuning fork.
If such an installation location should be necessary, mount a
suitable protective sheet above or in front of the vibrating
element - see illustration a.).
In abrasive solids, mounting acc. to illustration b. has proven. A
spout forms in the concave protective sheet preventing wear of
the protective sheet.
To achieve a very precise switching point, you can install
OPTISWITCH 3000 C horizontally. However, if the switching
point can have a tolerance of a few centimeters, we
recommend mounting OPTISWITCH 3000 C approx. 20°
inclined to the vessel bottom to avoid buildup.
