Installation preparation

When installing LT, exercise the following precautions:

• Select the gauge head installation site based on where it is the easiest to read the meter.

• The float must be installed so that it is positioned near the tank sidewall.

• In a spherical tank, the float must be installed so that it is positioned near the center of

the tank.

• If the roof of a dome-roof tank has a steep incline, the float must be installed so that it is

positioned near the center of the tank.

• Use an appropriate gasket on the flange connection to maintain airtightness.

CAUTION

Risk of tape severing

‣

The float should be installed as far from the tank inlet or stirrer as possible so that

waves do not impact the float directly. If there is no other choice but to install the float

where there are waves and liquid flow, install a wave guard to protect the float. Rapid

injection of liquid near the float may cause the tape to sever.
