    1.2 IL55BV2 Sensor The IL55/BV2 differs from the IL55 in so much as that it is possible to remove it from the process without the need to shut down or drain the line. This is due to the addition of a ball-valve mechanism enabling closure of the line and safe and easy removal of the sensor.
  • Page 5: Installation

    • Do not place the sensor in an area of no flow, as the suspended solids will settle out and not provide a representative reading. • Both the IL55 & IL55BV2 are removable from their mountings. It is therefore important to leave sufficient space around the instrument so as to enable removal.
  • Page 6: Horizontal Pipelines

    IL55 and IL55BV2 Sensor Instruction Manual 2.1 Horizontal Pipelines When mounting either an IL55 or IL55BV2 Sensor in to a horizontal pipeline, the sensor should be mounted in the ideally horizontal or at an angle of up to 45 from the horizontal.

    L55 and IL55BV2 Sensor Instruction Manual 3 Electrical Installation For details of the electrical connections for the IL55 and IL55BV2 Sensors, refer to the 7200 Monitor instruction manual. Cable Routing Care should be taken to ensure that the cable routing does not cause problems with the sensor measurement. Good engineering practice should be followed with particular attention being paid to the following points: •...

    IL55 and IL55BV2 Sensor Instruction Manual 4 IL55BV2 Sensor The IL55BV2 sensor is designed to allow the sensor to be withdrawn while the pipeline is in operation. The ball valve allows the pipeline to be isolated while maintenance or calibration is carried out on the sensor.
  • Page 9: Installation Procedure

    L55 and IL55BV2 Sensor Instruction Manual Installation Procedure Figure 4 below shows all major parts of the IL55/BV2. Installation of the sensor is simplified if the sensor is firstly split into two parts, the ball valve section and the sensor shaft and body.
  • Page 10: Sensor Removal

    IL55 and IL55BV2 Sensor Instruction Manual 4.2 Sensor Removal The IL55BV2 can be removed without the need for de-pressurising or draining of the line. This is achieved by the use of the ball valve mechanism. The removal of the IL55BV2 sensor is the reverse procedure of the installation process as outlined in the previous section: 1.
  • Page 11: Il55 Sensor

    L55 and IL55BV2 Sensor Instruction Manual 5 IL55 Sensor The IL55 sensor is designed to be used in applications where the IL55BV2 is ruled out for reasons of line pressure or space. The pipeline must be isolated and drained before removal of the sensor.
  • Page 12: Sensor Removal

    IL55 and IL55BV2 Sensor Instruction Manual 5.1 Sensor Removal The IL55 can only removed once the pipeline is de-pressurized and drained. Care must be taken to ensure that it is safe to remove the sensor before carrying out the procedure below: 1.
  • Page 13: Setup & Calibration

    L55 and IL55BV2 Sensor Instruction Manual 6 Setup & Calibration The setup and calibration procedure is the same for both the IL55 and IL55BV2 Sensors, the operation of the monitor is described in the appropriate manual. In addition to the steps described in the monitor instruction manual the following precautions must be carried out with the IL55/IL55BV2 sensors to ensure accurate calibration.
  • Page 14: Maintenance

    IL55 and IL55BV2 Sensor Instruction Manual 7 Maintenance 7.1 Sensor Cleaning The frequency of cleaning and servicing of the sensor is dependant upon the application in which it is being used, and the conditions present on site. It is advisable that, if possible, the sensor is regularly observed in the period after installation.
  • Page 15: Application Example: Sludge Density Monitor

    8 Application Example: Sludge Density Monitor A common application for the IL55/IL55BV2 sensor is the in-line monitoring of Sludge Density in the outlet pipe of settlement tanks. The sensor in combination with either a 7200 or 8100/8200 monitor will detect the sludge density in the pipe, providing information that allows the user to control the de-sludging of the tank.
