• When mounting rod and cable versions, make sure that the probe head is located at a point
as free as possible from flow. To protect the probe from impact resulting from lateral
movement, mount the probe in a guide tube (preferably made of plastic) or secure it with
a clamping fixture.
• In the case of devices for hazardous areas, comply strictly with the safety instructions
when the housing cover is open.
• The length of the extension cable or the probe rod is based on the planned level zero point.
The height of the protective cap must be taken into consideration when designing the
layout of the measuring point. The level zero point (E) corresponds to the position of the
process isolating diaphragm.
Level zero point = E; top of the probe = L.

Fig. 18: Mounting with a suspension clamp
1Extension cable
2 Suspension clamp
3 Clamping jaws
Mounting the suspension clamp:
1. Mount the suspension clamp (item 2). When selecting the place to fix the unit, take the
weight of the extension cable (item 1) and the device into account.
2. Raise the clamping jaws (item 3). Position the extension cable (item 1) between the
clamping jaws as illustrated in Figure.
3. Hold the extension cable in position (item 1) and push the clamping jaws (item 3) back
