Page 9: Mounting
Fig. 2: Measures against moisture ingress Transport Do not hold EL 2 on its electrode rods. Particularly with long rod ver- sions, the sensor can be damaged by the weight of the instrument. Pressure/Vacuum The process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or low pressure in the vessel. - Page 10 Measuring probe Plastic sleeve at the probe end or laterally mounted Inflowing medium If EL 2 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount EL 2 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. This applies particularly to instrument versions with a longer probe.
