    Quick Start Guide DLC3020f Digital Level Controller D103470X012 April 2022 Mounting Mounting the 249 Sensor The 249 sensor is mounted using one of two methods, depending on the specific type of sensor. If the sensor has a caged displacer, it typically mounts on the side of the vessel as shown in the left image in figure 3. If the sensor has a cageless displacer, the sensor mounts on the side or top of the vessel as shown in the right image in figure 3.
  • Page 7 Quick Start Guide DLC3020f Digital Level Controller D103470X012 April 2022 DLC3020f Orientation Mount the DLC3020f with the torque tube shaft clamp access hole (see figure 2) pointing downward to allow accumulated moisture drainage. Note If alternate drainage is provided by the user, and a small performance loss is acceptable, the instrument could be mounted in 90 degree rotational increments around the pilot shaft axis.
