    The LA1S sensor with its Ø 12 mm glass body can be mounted inside a GL connection of a F...-...-D universal filter or in the LS flow chamber. The LA25S sensor has got a 1/4" special male connector for mounting inside the FSS...-D universal filter or for mounting inside a 8 mm tube using a special union tee connector LS25.
  • Page 11: Installation Instructions And Dimensions

    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND DIMENSIONS The liquid alarm sensor LA...S is used for detecting liquids and is to be installed behind the gas dehydration devices, e.g. behind a gas cooler, but always on the deepest point of the installation. This is provided by the universal filters F…-...-D and the flow chambers LS or LS25. The filters F...-...D and the flow chambers LS are designed for wall mounting and are mounted by using 2 fastening screws.
