Sensor Mounting (Wall/Flange Mount)
• The sensor ambient temperature range is -25 °C to 65 °C.
Do not open a Z-purge, hinged-sensor enclosure door until you first
verify that the area has been classified as nonhazardous.

Methods for Mounting the Sensor
There are three methods for mounting a WDG-V sensor to the process:
• Flush with the process (direct weld),
• Using a customer-supplied pipe nipple,
• Using a customer-supplied flange.
Each of these methods is explained in the sections that follow. The flush
mount method is preferred because it positions the sensor as close to the
process as possible and minimizes the chances of the sample gas cooling
below its dewpoint.
If the protection nipple provided by AMETEK/Thermox extends past
the inside of the refractory wall on a process that has a gas tempera-
ture over 1200°F (650°C), the nipple should be cut down before instal-
lation in order to remain flush with the inside wall.
