     Bypass Level Indicator model: NBK 4. Regulation Use Any use of the Bypass level Indicator, model: NBK, which exceeds the manufacturer’s specification may invalidate its warranty. Therefore, any resulting damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer. The user assumes all risk for such usage.
  • Page 5: Bypass Measuring Tube System

    The bypass tube is attached at the side of the vessel with a connecting flange or a threaded pipe. The installation position is always vertical. The NBK should only be used for liquids with the medium density specified on the nameplate.
  • Page 6: Mechanical Connection

    Normally it is sufficient to fix the complete NBK with both process connections. However, should the NBK be subjected to constant shock or strong vibrations it is recommended that the instrument is secured with rubber-damped tube clips.
  • Page 7: Commissioning

     Check that the density of the liquid is the same as the density given on the nameplate.  Check that the float has been correctly installed with the marking "TOP" at the top.  Check if dirt deposits in the bypass tube are blocking the float. NBK 01/0322 page 7...
  • Page 8: Maintenance

    The bypass tube can now be mechanically cleaned. The inspection window for the roller indication is made of high-quality plexiglass (glass for high-temperature display). It should be cleaned with a suitable cleaning agent. The indicator requires no further maintenance. NBK 01/0322 page 8...
