Installation of Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter
|
Installation of Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter I Installation Preparation Carefully read all installation instructions and prevent the ambient temperature, impact, vibration and pressure from exceeding allowable scope of the sensor; the probe rod should NOT be bent. Do NOT make the electronic parts or the extreme end of the transmitter withstand large impact. The sensor should NOT be used in the location where chemical reactions or other objects that may cause damage to the sensor, such as inflammable, explosive, corrosive vapors and liquids. The electronic components of the sensor are splash proof but should not be immersed. Make sure the liquid should not immerse the top of the hexagon base. After installation, the probe rod should be treated with protection. II Installation Method ◆ Use the sensor holder to hold the sensor and use lock nut to secure the holder onto the sensor thread. ◆ Fix the open magnetic ring with two check gaskets #6 and two special bolts M3X12 on the magnetic ring bracket. When mounting the magnetic ring onto the probe rod, the screw head should face towards the side of hexagon base. The magnetic ring should be aligned with the probe rod and no contact between them, but slight misalignment will not influence the sensor performance. ◆ Tighten the fixed strip around the extreme end of the probe rod and secured it with two M3X8 bolts and two M3 nuts. Note: Only one piece of fixed strip is available for the MK-1 as installation accessory. Fix it at less than 50mm distant from the probe rod. MK-2 installation accessory has 3 pieces of fixed strip. Installation method: One is fixed within 25mm distant from the end; the other two are distributed on the probe rod. ◆ Finally tighten the whole preliminarily-installed sensor with self-made screws according to the installation requirement. |
