    (1.16 in). To mount the sensor, proceed as follows: 1. Screw the OPTISWITCH 5300 C into the mounting boss up to the stop. You can determine the later position already before welding. 2. Mark the position of the OPTISWITCH 5300 C on the mounting boss.

  • Page 17 Ambient temperature on the housing Inflowing medium If OPTISWITCH 5300 C is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount OPTISWITCH 5300 C at a position in the vessel where no distur- bances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. This applies particularly to instrument types with long extension tube. Fig. 9: Inflowing medium...
  • Page 18 Extreme vibration caused by the process or the equipment, e.g. agitators or turbulence in the vessel, can cause a long extension tube of OPTISWITCH 5300 C to vibrate in resonance. This leads to increased stress on the upper weld joint. Should a longer tube version be necessary, you can provide a suitable support directly above the tuning fork to secure the extension tube.
