Mounting and Installation
Devices are to be connected under dead-voltage condition. Devices
must only be connected to safety extra-low voltage. Consequential
damages caused by a fault in this device are excluded from warranty
or liability. Installation of these devices must only be realized by au-
thorized qualified personnel. The technical data and connecting condi-
tions shown on the device labels and in the mounting and operating
instructions delivered together with the device are exclusively valid.
Deviations from the catalogue representation are not explicitly men-
tioned and are possible in terms of technical progress and continuous
improvement of our products. In case of any modifications made by
the user, all warranty claims are forfeited. Operating this device close
to other devices that do not comply with EMC directives may influence
functionality. This device must not be used for monitoring applica-
tions, which solely serve the purpose of protecting persons against
hazards or injury, or as an EMERGENCY STOP switch for systems or
machinery, or for any other similar safety-relevant purposes.
Dimensions of enclosures or enclosure accessories may show slight
tolerances on the specifications provided in these instructions.
Modifications of these records are not permitted.
In case of a complaint, only complete devices returned in original
packing will be accepted.
Notes regarding mechanical mounting and attachment:
Mounting shall take place while observing all relevant regulations
and standards applicable for the place of measurement
(e.g. such as welding instructions, etc.). Particularly the following
shall be regarded:
– VDE ⁄ VDI directive technical temperature measurements, meas-
urement set - up for temperature measurements.
– The EMC directives must be adhered to.
– It is imperative to avoid parallel laying of current-carrying lines.
– We recommend to use shielded cables with the shielding being
attached at one side to the DDC ⁄ PLC.
Before mounting, make sure that the existing thermometer's techni-
cal parameters comply with the actual conditions at the place of
utilization, in particular in respect of:
– Measuring range
– Permissible maximum pressure, flow velocity
– Installation length, tube dimensions
– Oscillations, vibrations, shocks are to be avoided (< 0.5 g)
INFORMATION FOR
PLANNING AND INSTALLATION
Permissible approach velocities (flow rates)
for crosswise approached protective tubes
in water.
The protective tube is caused to vibrate by the
approaching flow.
If the specified approach velocity is exceeded even by
a marginal amount, a negative influence on the lifetime
of the protective tube may result (material fatigue).
Please observe the permissible approach velocities for
stainless steel protective tubes (see diagram TH-VA) as
well as for brass protective tubes (see diagramTH-ms).
Gas discharges and pressure surge must be avoided
as such have negative influence on lifetime or damage
protective tubes.
Attention! In any case, please observe the mechanical and thermal
load limits of protective tubes according to DIN 43763 respectively
according to specific S+S standards!
Notes regarding process connection of built-in sensors:
If possible, select material of protective tube to match the material
of piping or tank wall, in which the thermometer will be installed!
Maximum temperatures T
follows: for TH - MS brass sleeves T
for TH - VA stainless steel sleeves (standard) T
40 bar.
Screw-in threads:
Ensure appropriate support of the gasket or sealing material when
mounting! Permissible tightening torque standard values for screw - in
threads, are as follows:
M 18 x 1.5; M 20 x 1.5, pipe thread G 1 ⁄ 2" : 50 Nm
M 27 x 2.0, pipe thread G 3 ⁄ 4"
Flange mounting:
In case of flange mounting, screws in the flange part must be equally
tightened. The lateral pressure screw must clamp securely, otherwise
the feeler shaft might slip through.
Welding sleeves:
Specific welding instructions shall be observed.
On principle, unevenness or the like that might influence the system's
"CIP ability" must not develop at welds.
For high-pressure lines, pressure test certifications and inspections
are required.
