  • Page 12: Mounting

    DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. Switching point In general, OPTISWITCH 5300 C can be installed in any position. The instrument only has to be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the desired switching point.
  • Page 13 (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels. To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is closed during operation and locked, if necessary. Make sure that the degree of contamination specified in chapter "Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions. OPTISWITCH 5300 C • Two-wire 8/16 mA...
  • Page 14 Stainless steel housing (electropolished) Aluminium die-cast housing Caution: Transport Do not hold OPTISWITCH 5300 C on the tuning fork. Particularly with flange or tube versions, the tuning fork can be damaged just by the weight of the instrument. Transport coated instruments very carefully and avoid touching the tuning fork. Remove the packaging or the protective cover just before mounting.

    (1.16 in). To mount the sensor, proceed as follows: 1. Screw the OPTISWITCH 5300 C into the mounting boss up to the stop. You can determine the later position already before welding. 2. Mark the position of the OPTISWITCH 5300 C on the mounting boss.
  • Page 16 Inflowing medium If OPTISWITCH 5300 C is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount OPTISWITCH 5300 C at a position in the vessel where no distur- bances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. This applies particularly to instrument types with long extension tube. OPTISWITCH 5300 C • Two-wire 8/16 mA...
  • Page 17 4 Mounting Fig. 10: Inflowing medium Product flow To make sure the tuning fork of OPTISWITCH 5300 C generates as little resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement. Agitators Due to the effects of agitators, equipment vibration or similar, the level switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do not use an overly long extension tube (optional) for OPTISWITCH 5300 C , instead check if it is possible to mount a short level switch OPTISWITCH 5300 C on the side of the vessel in horizontal position.
  • Page 18 See "Technical data". Caution: If it is determined (e.g. via an error message from OPTISWITCH 5300 C ) that medium has already penetrated into the vibrating element, the instrument must be exchanged immediately. OPTISWITCH 5300 C • Two-wire 8/16 mA...
