1 About this document 1.1 Introduction The Installation and operating instructions are part of the Transparent gauge TG200 - lateral. It must be made available to the responsible departments "Incoming goods, transport, assembly, commissioning and maintenance". The Installation and operating instructions must be stored in such a way that the specialist personnel has access to them at all times.
Transparent gauge. The Installation and operating instructions belongs to the Transparent gauge of the type TG200 - lateral. Additions that are entered after the designation and describe the design of the Transparent gauge (e.g. 5/3ü) do not release these Installation and operating instructions from belonging to the Transparent gauge.
In addition to these Installation and operating instructions, the operating instructions of the shut-off and drain valves as well as the lighting system must be observed.

AFETY NSTRUCTIONS Risk of injury due to leaking medium Inflammatory, irritating and harmful substances can escape from the gauge and lead to skin injuries and burns. This danger is also to be expected in the case of an unpressurised cooled system. •...
AFETY NSTRUCTIONS Risk of injury due to heavy loads There is a risk of injury when handling large and/or heavy gauges. • Observe the load handling regulation. • Use lifting equipment to move heavy and bulky appliances. Risk of health damage due to noise Noise leads to damage to the health of the hearing.
ONTENTS OF THE PACKAGING 3 Contents of the packaging 3.1 Included 1 TG200 - lateralThe Transparent gauge will be delivered as two pre-assembled units, unless otherwise contractually agreed: Unit A • Gauge • Upper shutoff valve • Lower shutoff valve •...
YSTEM ESCRIPTION 4 System Description 4.1 Function The transparent indicator is a direct water level gauge with an illumination device that is primarily used on pressurised tanks. The gauge works on the physics law of communicating tubes. The level can be clearly read on the sight glass of the gauge thanks to the backlighting.
ECHNICAL DATA 6 Technical data 6.1 Limitations of use Limitations of use TG200 - lateral all. Pressure [PS] all. Temperature [TS] 200 bar 367°C 2900 psig 692°F The maximum permissible operating pressure of the Transparent gauge is determined by the lowest permissible pressure of the attached component.
ECHNICAL DATA 6.3 Dimensions One display opening Display openings offset next to each other Both models are shown as left-hand models minimum [mm] [inch] Upper blind space Lower blind space Protrusion [Ü] Property damage due to weight loading If the total weight of the gauge 30kg the connecting elements are subjected to excessive >...
ECHNICAL DATA 6.4 Optional versions In addition to customer-specific drain and shutoff valves, the Transparent gauge can also be customized with other features. These Installation and operating instructions also apply to these versions. For versions with other shut-off and drain valves, the documents for the installed valves must also be observed.
SSEMBLY 7 Assembly 7.1 Version with flange • Observe the orientation of the gauge. • Check sealing surfaces for cleanliness • Install the flange connection between the gauge and the boiler/pressure vessel according to the applicable standard 7.2 Version with welding end ARNING Eye damage due to lack of personal protective equipment Lack of eye protection during welding leads to eye damage in working and bystanders.
Property damage caused by incorrect installation, commissioning, maintenance and operation Only trained electricians may install and connect lighting equipment. Igema GmbH can be commissioned for the installation and maintenance. Property damage caused by irregular use • Use the applicable documents to check whether the lighting device is intended for the planned use.

OMMISSIONING 8 Commissioning 8.1 Before commissioning Torque All liquid level gauges are subjected to a pressure test before delivery. In individual cases, material placement may occur due to transport, storage or during assembly. Leaks due to insufficient torques • Check screw connections for appropriate torque and a tight fit. •...
The pH value of the medium has a strong effect on the removal of the reflective glass. 8.2 Commissioning at the same time as the boiler This type of commissioning is recommended by Igema GmbH due to the lower stress on the components.
OMMISSIONING 8.3 Commissioning under pressure and temperature loads Fig.1 Fig.2 Fig.3 ▪ The gauge must be depressurised (chap.9.2) Figure 1: • Slowly open the upper shut-off valve ( pos. 12) (hand lever in approx. 5 min. position) • The gauge is heated to operating temperature by the steam flowing through it within 5-10min.
Replaced spare parts that do not correspond to the characteristics of the original spare parts may cause damage to the gauge. • Only use original parts from Igema GmbH for replacement. AUTION Cuts caused by sharp objects During the maintenance of the device, sharp-edged parts may cause injuries.
ERVICING In order to ensure a trouble-free process, Igema GmbH recommends an annual replacement of the glass and the seals. Shorter maintenance intervals are recommended in extreme operating conditions. Creation of a maintenance plan The operator must determine a maintenance plan suitable for the specific application after evaluating his own operating experience.
ERVICING 9.3 Blowing through the gauge for further cleaning Fig.1 Fig.2 ▪ The gauge must be depressurised (chap.9.2) Figure 1 • Open the upper shutoff valve slowly (pos. 12) The steam flowing through cleans the glasses. Figure 2 • Close the upper shutoff valve (pos.
ERVICING 9.5 Changing the mica Dismantling the water level marker and lighting device beforehand provides more space and therefore makes the subsequent work easier. Property damage caused by damaged components Apparently intact components can be damaged and lead to damage to the device when reinstalled or reused.
