INSTALLATION GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES Prior to the installation of the 8175 ultrasonic level transmitter, a clear mounting location for the product must be determined. The level transmitter or sensor types 8175 / 8170 are designed for liquid level measurement. It is the user responsability to test the functionality of the device for any other material such as powders, granuals etc.
Be careful not to overtighten the transmitter in the fitting. Shaft mounting If the transmitter or sensor 8175 is installed on a shaft, it must not be higher than 400 mm for a diameter of 100 mm, or 250 mm for a diameter of 80 mm.
