Please refer to the separate table “SS 20.60 Profile Factors”. When using the sensor outdoors, it must be protected against direct ex-posure to the weather.
ATTENTION maximum allowed positive operating pressure of 16 bar must not be exceeded! If the above safety instructions are not observed, the sensor in the screw pipe connection may be loosened thrown overpressure. Instructions for Use SS 20.60 Page 4/16...
The sensor tip must be positioned in the center of the pipe opening as shown in Figure 1. The following table shows the necessary straight conduit lengths as a function of each disturbance. Instructions for Use SS 20.60 Page 5/16...

Installation position The sensor should preferably be installed in horizontally positioned pipes. ATTENTION Avoid installing the sensor in a pipe with downward flow. This would considerably increase lower measuring range limit. Instructions for Use SS 20.60 Page 7/16...
Repeat the mounting procedure as described under item 1. 3. Make sure to close the safety chain before pressure is applied. The chain lock must be hung up in a way to avoid sagging of the chain. Instructions for Use SS 20.60 Page 8/16...
Electrical connections Digital + 24 VDC Signal Figure 3: SS 20.60 connection assignment (view of the plug pins at the sensor) The cable supplied has the following color assignment: ws = white, bn = brown, sw = black, bl = blue The negative of the dc voltage (GND) is at the same time the reference potential for the analog signal.
Note: After applying the supply voltage, the output signal will at first adopt a higher value and then level off at the correct measurement value after about 10 seconds. 7.1 LED display The sensor has 4 LEDs indicating its current state. Instructions for Use SS 20.60 Page 10/16...

Causes of any error signaling have to be eliminated immediately. A significant exceeding falling below permitted operating parameters can result in permanent damage to the sensor. ATTENTION During error state signaling, the measured values analog output show considerable deviations. Instructions for Use SS 20.60 Page 12/16...
Recalibration If the customer has made no other provisions, we recommend repeating the calibration at a 12-month interval. To do so, the sensor must be sent in to the manufacturer. Instructions for Use SS 20.60 Page 13/16...

When the sensor is used in systems important for operation, we recommend keeping a replacement sensor in stock. Test certificates Upon request, we shall prepare, at a charge, a factory calibration certificate, traceable to national standards. Instructions for Use SS 20.60 Page 14/16...
