Note
Measurement position
Install on circular pipes only, avoid installation next to angled pipes, near slide valves, valves, pumps, etc.
1. Define the measurement position.
2. Apply heat sink compound to the metallic part of the temperature sensor.
3. For standard version: halved pipe collar allows for quick and easy mounting on the pipe using two mounting screws.
For bracket version: mount on pipe using one mounting screw.
– If the pipe is not fully occupied by medium during installation, mount the temperature sensor on the underside of the
pipe.
4. Firmly tighten the mounting screws (4 Nm torque).
5. Mount the vibration protection and hand-tighten.
– You can remove the measuring insert only after you have released the Pt100 recessed grip screw(s).
– Do not twist the housing.
– Use Pt100 recessed grip screw for installation, only.
– Do not apply force to the transmitter housing (e. g. during opening/closing of lid).
– Because the locking plugs are fitted with internal gaskets they are only suited for ambient temperatures to 100 °C
(212 °F).
