Installation Installation of the Sensor 5.4.1 Mounting DT 500 onto the ball valve • Assembly is carried out by inserting the connection thread with gasket. (G1/2“ thread, SW 32) into the ball valve with ½"internal thread. The sensor has be tighten by hand as far as possible and then tighten with stipulated torque of 25-30 Nm.
For this purpose the 6 fastening screws are to be released and the display head rotated 180°. Caution: It must be ensured that the connection plugs are still plugged and the gasket is installed correctly. DT 500 Rev1.0 May20 Page 12 of 48...
