5.3. MAIN HOUSING PIPELINE MOUNTING

The pipeline mounted unit is supplied with a set of ratchet
straps or steel banding as shown.
1.
If the pipeline surface temperature is expected to exceed
the maximum permitted ambient temperature for the
enclosure as per the tables in the Special Conditions for
Safe Use within section 10 CERTIFICATION APPENDIX then
the housing must NOT be fitted on the pipeline.
2.
Ensure the mounting plate is securely fitted to the housing
as per 5.1 MAIN HOUSING MOUNTING PLATE.
3.
Temporarily place the unit at the chosen location to ensure
that the unit sits in place without rocking excessively.
4.
Thread 2x loops of banding through the slots provided in
the mounting plate as shown and then following the
instructions provided with the banding gradually tighten the banding until the unit is held
firmly. Do not use excessive force.
5.
If equipotential bonding, or earthing is required, then the M4 threads around the perimeter
of the display endcap may be used.

5.4. SENSOR MOUNTING

The sensor is supplied with a mounting
plate, a mounting stud, a PEEK insulator (if
required) and a length of mounting band.
1.
If the pipeline surface temperature is
expected to exceed +85°C then the
sensor must be fitted on the lower half
of the pipeline as shown to minimise
convection
heating
insulator must be fitted to thermally
insulate the sensor from the pipeline.
Online Electronics should be contacted
for further guidance. Do NOT exceed 3
N·m tightening torque if using the PEEK
insulator or the threads may be damaged.
2.
Pass the mounting stud or insulator (if required) through the ø6mm hole in the mounting
band and then screw into the mounting plate approximately 4 full turns. Do not tighten
further at this point.
3.
Loop the mounting band around the pipeline and then following the instructions provided
with the banding gradually tighten the banding until the mounting assembly is held firmly.
Do not use excessive force.
4.
Ensure that the mounting plate is positioned to form a cross with the mounting band and
the mounting band has been firmly tightened before fully tightening the mounting stud into
the mounting plate using a 21mm AF wrench or the insulator (if required) using a 15mm AF
wrench. Do NOT exceed 3 N·m tightening torque if using the PEEK insulator or the threads
may be damaged. It should not be possible to move the mounting plate at this point.
5.
Attach the ID5001P sensor to the mounting stud tightening using a 1" AF wrench. Do NOT
exceed 3 N·m tightening torque if using the PEEK insulator or the threads may be damaged.
