4 Packaging, transport and storage 4.1 Purpose The packaging is designed to protect the packaged product during transport, loading, unloading and during periods of storage in such a way that no detri- mental changes occur. The packaging must protect the goods against per- mitted transport stresses such as vibration, knocks and moisture (rain, snow, condensation).
Page 20
4 Packaging, transport and storage Every delivered shipment must be checked for the following by the recipient before acceptance (acknowledgment of receipt): ▪ Completeness based on the delivery slip ▪ External damage of any kind. The checks must take place after unloading, when the box or transport con- tainer can be accessed from all sides.
4 Packaging, transport and storage 4.5 Storage of shipments When selecting and setting up the storage location, ensure the following: ▪ Store the product and accessories in the original packaging until installa- tion. ▪ Protect stored goods against moisture (rain, flooding, water from melting snow and ice), dirt, pests such as rats, mice, termites etc.
5 Mounting DANGER Electric shock! Danger of death due to electrical voltage when assembling/ disassembling the device. ► Switch off transformer on high-voltage side and low-voltage side. ► Lock transformer to prevent unintentional restart. ► Make sure that everything is de-energized. ►...
5 Mounting ▪ Sealing surface of the flanges on the oil conservator – Clean and undamaged – Without any damage along the radial surface such as scratches or points of impact – The surface quality of the sealing surface must be suited for the deliv- ered CENTELLEN®...

5 Mounting 4. Attach the indicator rail to the measuring tube with the clips. The side of the indicator rail marked TOP must be on top. Inserting the float gauge into the measuring tube 1. Sweep with the float gauge over the indicator rail externally from top to bottom so that all magnetic flaps turn to white.

5 Mounting NOTICE! A residual distance between the flanges caused by a deviation in evenness can cause damage to the flanges. Tighten screws with 10% of the target tightening torque and ensure that there is no gap between the flanges. If a gap is present, repair the affected oil conservator flanges or, if necessary, detach and re-weld them so that there is no longer a gap.
5 Mounting Tightening screws in the top part and bottom part of the oil level indicator 1. Tighten screws in the top part and bottom part of the oil level indicator. 2. Fill the oil conservator with oil and open the stop valve. ð...
5 Mounting Incorrect oil level indication The following table shows possible causes for an incorrect oil level indica- tion. The measuring accuracy is ± 2 indicator flaps. Cause Action No oil in the oil conservator Fill the oil conservator with oil. Stop valve closed Open the stop valve.

5 Mounting Proceed as follows to install the limit switch. 1. Attach the limit switch, shifted 90° to the indicator rail, to the measuring tube using the clips supplied. In doing so, the cable must point downward. As the reed contact is mounted in the middle of the housing, the lowest value to be set is 50 mm above the top edge of the bottom part.
5 Mounting 3. Sweep a magnet over the limit switches externally in order to orient the limit switches as N/C or N/O contacts. Figure 8: Orienting the limit switches 4. Check the adjustment with an ohmmeter. 5.6 Attaching the remote transmitter to the measuring tube The measuring transducer installed in the remote transmitter converts the level-dependent change in resistance (3-wire potentiometer circuit) to an im- pressed output current of 4...20 mA.
