3.6 General notes for installation of sender/receiver units
Check the following before installing:
● Sender/receiver units to be fitted for a particular measuring point must belong to the
same system to ensure the maximum measuring precision possible. Exchanging struc
-
turally identical sender/receiver units from different measuring systems is not recom-
mended.
● Sender/receiver units from one system are marked with sequential serial numbers
(printed on the device label). The FLSE100 Master always has the lower number and the
FLSE100 Slave the higher number.
● Sender/receiver units and nozzles must be compatible (
→
pg. 54, § 2.2.2).
● Nozzles must be free from weld beads on the inside.
WARNING:
● Observe and follow the valid regulations and safety regulations as well as
the safety notices in Section 1.
● Take special precautions for use in plants with increased hazard potential
(toxic/aggressive/explosive gases, higher pressure, higher temperature)
(risk or serious injuries).
● Use suitable protection measures against possible local hazards or hazards
arising from the equipment.
● Observe the permitted operating parameters according to the Figures in
→
pg. 31, § 2.2.1 during all work.
Sender/receiver units can only be exchanged against identical units.
In this case specific probe parameters must be set using the SOPAS ET
program (see Service Manual).
NOTICE:
The deformation characteristic of the flange gasket has an influence on the
geometry of the installation and therefore on the uncertainty of the
measurement. SICK recommends:
● Use the same type of gaskets as in original scope of supply only
● Apply a tightening torque of 165 Nm
WARNING:
Ball valve and sender/receiver unit do not function correctly following incorrect
installation. Both parts can be damaged. Serious injuries are possible.
For installation of seals see instructions of sealing manufacturer in
→
pg. 239,
§ 6.5.
WARNING: Hazards through leaks
Operation in leaky condition is not allowed and possibly dangerous.
