Page 7: Chapter 2 Installation
Chapter 2 Installation Power Supply Requirements The SLM600 operates from a DC supply of 20 –30V and will typically draw less than 0.08A. All electronic products are susceptible to electrostatic shock, so follow proper grounding procedures during installation. The compact one-piece construction of the SLM600 can be mounted easily using the integral nose thread (2”NPT). - Page 8 Outdoor and Open Vessel Installation The SLM600 can be simply mounted on a bracket, suitable for the application and secured using the thread located at the top of the transducer (2”NPT). Care should be taken to ensure that the SLM600 is not installed in direct sunlight, in order to avoid errors in the measurement of ambient temperature.
- Page 9 Stand Pipe Installations When mounting the SLM600 to a standpipe care should be taken to ensure that the standpipe is of sufficient dia with reference to its length, see the table below for details: D(mm) Length(mm) L(mm) D(mm) When using a standpipe, fixed to the top of a vessel, ensure that the open end of the standpipe is clear of any obstructions such as weld seams, gaskets etc.
