Design The Variable LPG Installation Kit has been developed for FAFNIR sensors to measure the level in LPG tanks without having to mount the sensor in the tank. Instead, an installation tube is installed in the tank to hold the sensor for level measurement. The sensor can therefore be inserted or removed from the the installation tube at any time without having to open the tank.
(7). Flange/process connection (8), with ¾" NPT female thread or reduction, • not included in FAFNIR's scope of supply. Pipe cutter for stainless steel if needed to shorten the installation tube, • not included in FAFNIR's scope of supply.

Push the float (6) on the installation tube (5) and reinstall the adjusting ring (7) at the lower end of the installation tube. Make sure that the adjusting ring (7) is fixed. Make sure that the float (6) points with the TOP mark towards the flange (8). ELECTROSTATIC HAZARD: When using a plastic float in potentially explosive areas, it must be ensured during installation, operation and maintenance work that the float cannot ignite due to friction or electrostatic charge.
Mark this 1. position on the installation tube (1. Marking), see figure below: 10 mm 1 ¼ turn 1. Marking 1. Marking 2. Marking Push the installation tube 10 mm up (safety distance to the tank bottom) and mark this 2. position on the installation tube with a 2. Marking below the 1.
Observe the following Safety Mounting Instructions: - When shortening, only use pipe cutters for stainless steel. - Make sure that no dirt particles get into the installation tube. - Protect the installation tube against bending. Remove the PTFE compression fitting (3) from the top of the installation tube (5). Shorten the installation tube to the desired length.
