4 Mounting

4.1 General instructions

Select an installation position you can easily reach for
mounting and connecting as well as later retrofitting of an
indicating and adjustment module. The housing can be rotated
by 330° without the use of any tools. You can also install the
indicating and adjustment module in four different positions
(each displaced by 90°).
The housing of the threaded versions must not be used to
screw the instrument in! Applying tightening force on the
housing can damage its rotational mechanical parts.
Use the hexagon for screwing in.
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to
power supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your LEVEL TRANSMITTER 8185 additional
protection against moisture penetration by leading the con-
nection cable downward in front of the cable entry. Rain and
condensation water can thus drain off. This applies mainly to
mounting outdoors, in areas where moisture is expected (e.g.
by cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels.
Fig. 2: Measures against moisture penetration
The reference plane for the measuring range of the sensors is
the seal surface of the thread or flange.
Keep in mind that a min. distance must be maintained below
the reference plane and possibly also at the end of the probe -
measurement in these areas is not possible (dead zone). Keep
in mind that the cable length cannot be used up to the end
