Option: Venting ball valve for sender/receiver unit
Retractable sender/receiver units can be delivered with optional "venting valve" equipment
(ball valve) at the retraction flange.
● The venting ball valve must be installed by the manufacturer. Installation outside the
factory is not possible.
● The connection for the venting valve is closed with a blind screw by the factory.
Option: Connection for condensation drain at sender/receiver unit
Optional connection for condensation drain can be used under consideration of following
restrictions only:
● Drain only over closed drain system. Drain system (piping etc.) is not included as part of
delivery SICK.
● Drain system must be designed considering the process conditions (pressure,
temperature, gas composition).
All relevant safety regulations, standards and guidelines must be considered when using
the condensation drain. The use of the condensation drain is the sole responsibility of the
plant operator.
