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.
