Mounting The Sensor To The Process - Ametek Thermox 2000 ATEX Series User Manual

Mounting the Sensor to the Process

Do the following to mount the sensor to the process:
1. Make sure the gasket provided is on the mounting plate or customer-
supplied flange. This gasket keeps the system sealed and leak tight.
2. Make sure that the probe, exhaust tube, insulation sleeve, and probe
filter assembly are attached to the sensor - see the "Probe and Probe
Filter Connection to Sensor" section earlier in this chapter for help.
3. Carefully slide the probe through the hole in the mounting plate as
you hold the sensor. Be careful not to knock the filter against the pipe
nipple as you insert the probe into the process.
4. Line up the three studs on the mounting plate with the three holes in
the back of the sensor, then mount the sensor to the mounting plate
studs.
5. Once the studs are through the backplate, install the mounting hard-
ware, consisting of the washers, locks, and nuts on the studs. You may
need to loosen the four nuts on the manifold block plate to gain access
to the top mounting plate stud. These nuts should only be loosened,
not removed. The sensor manifold block must be held level and still to
keep the probe from banging into the pipe nipple.
6. Once the sensor is bolted to the mounting plate, tighten the four nuts
on the manifold block plate.
