KSB Leakage Sensor - Fluids Handled

4 Description
12 of 34
KSB Leakage Sensor
1984.8/02-EN
CAUTION
Leakage temperature in the sensor housing exceeded
Damage to the measurement transmitter!
▷ If the permissible leakage temperature in the sensor housing is exceeded, the
inductive measurement transmitter 69-8 can become damaged and must be
replaced as a precautionary measure. (ðSection7.3.3,Page25)
▪ IP65 enclosure
2)
▪ Permissible in-service ambient temperature: -10°C to + 60°C
▪ Permissible fluid temperature of the pump: -30°C to +350°C
▪ Permissible leakage temperature in the sensor housing -20°C to +100°C (the
fluid handled must not solidify inside the sensor.)
▪ Resistant to oil mist and alkaline industrial cleaning agents
▪ Free from paint-wetting impairment substances (silicone-free)
4.4 Fluids handled
DANGER
Leakage caused by chemically or mechanically affected material
Hot and/or toxic fluid may escape!
Hazard to persons and the environment!
▷ Only use the equipment for fluids which are neither chemically nor
mechanically aggressive to the equipment materials.
▷ Only use the equipment for the fluids indicated in the operating manual or the
data sheet, or consult KSB.
NOTE
The fluids handled must be clean when entering the leakage sensor. If there is any
risk of the drop capillary in the upper sensor housing becoming clogged (e.g. by
crystallisation), its free passage has to be checked regularly.
