    6 SYSTEM INSTALLATION 6.1 SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING! – DANGER FROM PROCESS It is possible that the sensors are to be installed in ducting containing process particulate that is hazardous to health. Unless the process conditions are known to be entirely safe, suitable precautions such as the use of breathing apparatus or duct purging/detoxifying must be employed before any entry is made into the duct for installation or maintenance purposes.
  • Page 21: Grounding The Sensor

    Cables should be routed to avoid sources of large electromagnetic fields, such as heavy switching gear. Care taken during the installation of the cables ensures a long, maintenance-free life and avoids possible damage to the control unit and sensor. In summary, the cabling should be installed such that: Heavy vibration is minimized to prevent fatigue and failure.
  • Page 22: Installing The Sensor

    Where a cable run approaches the instrument from above, it must be run underneath the instrument and then • curved up to the cable gland. Where a cable enters a cable gland, sufficient slack should be left in the cable so that a new connection can •...
