4.2 Installation of the Detector LB 5430 on a Bunker
The LB 5430 detector is installed on the outside wall of a bunker. Typically, it is fixed to
the flange of the detector.
Figure 3: Detector LB 5430
Depending on the version, the detector weights approx. 60 – 70 kg. Please take this
weight into account in your planning.
All screws and mounting parts have to be secured such that they cannot come loose
during operation, so that the detector cannot fall down.
The detector must not be subject to heavy mechanical vibrations. If extreme vibrations
are likely to occur at the installation site, the detector has to be mounted on a damping
and shock absorbing arrangement.
Care must be taken that no potassium containing material may be deposited between the
surface probe and the outside wall. This would result in measurement errors.
The ambient temperature at the installation site of the detector must not exceed 50°C. If
the bunker wall is hot (>50°C), you may insert a suitable insulating plate having a
thickness of approx. 20 mm between the container wall and the detector or use a
detector with water cooling.
