To guarantee the conditions for zero point balancing under 
operating conditions, turn-off devices are required in the piping: 
A At least on the outlet side when the transmitter is 
mounted in horizontal position 
B At least on the inlet side when the transmitter is mounted 
in vertical position. 
C In order to perform balancing during an ongoing process, 
it is advisable to mount a bypass pipe.

medium
 −50°to 205 °C (−58 to 400 °F) 
 
The sensor may only be insulated in conjunction with the option 
TE1 ‘Extended tower length for sensor insulation’ or TE2 
‘Extended tower length – insulation capacity with dual gasket,’ 
as shown in Figure 10. 
 
Heat tracing of the sensor 
When operating the sensor in conjunction with heat tracing, the 
temperature at point 
C (Figure 10) 100 °C (212 °F) may not be 
exceeded at any time! 
 
 
Installation in EHEDG-compliant installations 
 
 
 
 WARNING 
Risk of poisoning! 
Bacteria and chemical substances can contaminate or pollute 
pipeline systems and the materials they are made of. 
•  In EHEDG-compliant installations, the instructions below 
must be observed. 
 
 
•  The required self-draining functionality of the sensor can 
only be guaranteed when the vertical mounting position or 
horizontal mounting position at a 30° incline is used. Refer to 
Liquid measuring media on page 30. 
•  The combination of process connections and gaskets 
selected by the operator may comprise only EHEDG-
compliant components. Please note the information in the 
latest version of the EHEDG Position Paper: ‘Hygienic Process 
connections to use with hygienic components and 
equipment’ in this regard. 
•  The pipe fitting in accordance with DIN 11851 is approved for 
use in conjunction with an EHEDG-compliant gasket.
