Mounting- and Operating Instructions

Important safety instructions please read and note

If the transducer is to operate smoothly and safely, it is vital that it is transported, stored and

assembled appropriately, installed and commissioned correctly, used only as intended and repaired as

required. These actions should only be performed by individuals with the required specialist

knowledge and corresponding qualifications.

The applicable safety regulations for the erection and operation of electrical systems in explosion risk

areas shall be observed. Your particular attention is drawn to the erection provisions in accordance

with EN 60079-0, EN 60079-11, EN 60079-26, for electrical plants in areas subject to explosion

hazards. The attached EC-type examination certificate TÜV 02 ATEX 1795 X respectively

IECEx TUN 17.0036X must also be observed.

Should the information contained in the instructions below prove to be inadequate in any way, please

contact the manufacturer.

Application

The TK-101 transducer is integrated directly into the connection socket of our continuous filling level

probes of the type series TK-30... It converts the resistance signal of the continuous level measuring

sensors into a unit current signal (4..20 mA) proportional to the filling level height. installed in the

float. The TK-101 has a potentiometer for zero adjustment (MIN), an for 100% setting (MAX).

Mounting

The TK-101 is intended for the installation into a housing, which offers suitable protection against the

respective ambient conditions during operation. At the factory, the TK-101 is integrated into the

respective TK-30_ housing.

Electrical connection

If the probe is used in hazardous areas, it may only be operated via a Zener barrier or an approved

Ex-supply device. The electrical connection must be made without power.
