  • Page 16: Installation

    Installation Mounting ● Installation shall be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with local governing regulations. ● Do not bend, shorten or extend the tines. ● Position the tines using a 50 mm open-end wrench when installing the process connection (do not turn the housing).
  • Page 17 Installation 4.1 Mounting WARNING LVS200 • Installation in Zone 0 (electronics: NAMUR): The intrinsic safe supply circuit must have galvanic isolation to a non- intrinsically safe area. Otherwise, provide protection for the device against lightning strikes (see EN 60079-14). • Power supply (electronics: NAMUR): Intrinsically safe protection is only valid when connected to a certified intrinsically safe power supply.
  • Page 18 Installation 4.1 Mounting SITRANS LVS100/200 is normally mounted into the vessel top for full detection, or through the tank wall at the detection level, for full, demand, or empty detection. Position tines vertically to avoid product buildup: use a 50 mm open-end wrench to turn the process connection until the tine orientation marking faces up or down.
