Installation VKE 16-1, VKE 16 A, VKE 26 Danger Risk of death, severe injuries, damage or destruction caused by the explosion of explosive mixtures! An electrically insulated installation between pipe flanges may result in electrostatic charges. If the equipment is used in explosion-risk areas make sure that any electrostatic charges that may be generated will be discharged (earthing).
Installation – continued – VKE 16-1 Design with socket-weld ends 1. Observe correct position of installation. 2. Observe direction of flow. The flow arrow is on the trap body. 3. Consider space required for servicing. When the test chamber is installed a minimum space is required for removing the measuring electrode (see table for Fig.
The steam traps can be installed in horizontal pipes or in vertical pipes with downward flow. Before screwing the measuring electrodes NRG 16-19, NRG 16-27 into the left or right side of the test chamber VKE 16-1, VKE 16 A remove the sealing plug.
Wiring Connecting cables for measuring electrodes NRG 16-19 The measuring electrode comes with a 2 m long connecting cable and can be directly connected to the test station NRA 1-3. To extend the cable use screened two-core cable, e. g. Ölflex 110 CH, manufactured by LAPP, 2 x 0.5 mm...
VKE 16-1, VKE 16 A, VKE 26 Make sure that the flanged connections of the test chamber are firmly bolted together and leakproof. NRG 16-19, NRG 16-27, NRG 16-28 Before commissioning please check: Are the measuring electrodes /temperature sensors wired in accordance with the wiring diagram? Applying mains voltage Apply supply voltage to the test station.
Removing and disposing of measuring electrode NRG 16-19, NRG 16-27 and NRG 16-2 1. Detach measuring electrode (NRG 16-19) or remove the terminal box (NRG 16-27, NRG 16-28). 2. Before removing the equipment make sure that it is neither hot nor under pressure.
