Page 5: Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions The TORRIX is used for level and interface measurement of liquids in containers. Only use the sensor for this purpose. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any form of damage resulting from improper use. Observe and follow all safety notes and the operating instruc- tions. -
Page 6: Design And Function
Design and Function The level sensors consist of a probe head (1) and a probe tube (4) made of stainless steel. On the probe tube is a screw-in unit (3) (cutting ring fitting or ferrule fitting) for height- adjustable mounting in the container or a flange for fixed installation or the probe tube is mounted outside the container on a Bypass. -

Page 10: Mounting With Flange
Mounting with flange Because of the risk of bending, the TORRIX Flange must not be held by the probe tube. The bolts or nuts and the seals are the responsibility of the operating company and must be selected depending on the fluid. - Page 11 TORRIX Bypass TORRIX Bypass Abstand Sondenrohr zu Distance between probe tube and float centre: Schwimmermitte: max.
