Installation requirements
An LST300 level transmitter can be installed in many
applications you need. Consider the following installation
conditions:
• Ensure the instrument is installed within recommended
temperature and pressure ratings.
• The sensor must be installed as perpendicular as possible to
the liquid surface being measured.
• Avoid installing the instrument in a location where vibration
may be present during operation.
• Mount with a clear line-of-sight to the target surface.
• If installed in a cylindrically shaped vessel, ensure that the
sensor is installed just above the lowest point in the tank. This
allows measurements to be taken as the tank approaches
empty.
• Use the mounting kit to raise the instrument above the
highest point in the tank.
• Close the unit after wiring in order to maintain ingress
protection.
