Installation

4.1.

Installing idOil Solar Control Unit

idOil Solar control unit can be wall mounted or installed on a pedestal. The enclosure has
mounting holes at each of the corners beneath the mounting holes of the front cover.
For pedestal installation, idOil Solar is equipped with a connector flange (see Appendix
Connector Flange).
Orientate idOil Solar as accurately as possible towards south and direct sunlight. Check the
best possible installation angle (e.g. 68°) at your site. Pedestals or other mounting
equipment are not delivered with the device.
All wiring, except sensor cables, of idOil Solar is done already at the factory.
The control unit must be installed in a safe (non-Ex) space.

General installation instructions for sensors

idOil sensors can be installed in zone 0 explosive atmospheres. Do not remove the sensor
markings from the cables or sensor frames.
Read Section General safety instructions before installation.
Check the correct installation depth of the sensor in the instructions of the separator in
question.
For example, sensors can be installed suspended from their cable (see next figure). Leave
a sufficient length of the sensor or extension cable coiled inside the service well, so that
you can easily lift the sensor out for inspection and cleaning.

Installing the idOil-LIQ high liquid level sensor

The sensor is normally in air, and it issues an alarm when the sensing element is
submerged in liquid. The sensor is installed at a suitable height above the standard liquid
level (L) so that the overflow alarm is activated once the liquid level reaches the sensing
element.
Overflow is possible in the following cases, for example:
if the filter is dirty
if the automatic closure device is blocked
or if some other situation causes blockage in the discharge pipe
