Assembly and Installation
Subject to change without notice
Installation location
The sender/receiver units can be installed on vertical, horizontal, or inclined ducts or
pipelines. In vertical stacks, a minimum distance from the stack outlet (approx. 30 m) must
be observed to prevent noise disturbance caused by rain drops on the probe head.
The installation location for the device components must be as free as possible from
vibrations.
If a purge/cooling air unit is required, it must be mounted at a location that allows intake of
the cleanest possible air. The intake temperature must match the values specified in the
Technical Data.
Ensure a connection for instrument air free from oil, dust and grease is available at the
fitting location when using optional emergency air supply sets.
The installation location should be equipped with power connections and permanent
lighting.
Platform
The sender/receiver units must be easily accessible for installation and maintenance. If
necessary, provide a suitably wide platform secured by a handrail.
In vertical ducts, the installation angle should be selected depending on the duct diameter
so that only one platform is necessary. An additional basic platform and/or sealable
opening in the platform with a protection cage or similar can be helpful (
Fig. 27). Ensure
sufficient clearance is provided for installing and removing the sender/receiver units.
WARNING:
The plant operator is responsible for ensuring that the applicable accident pre-
vention and occupational health and safety regulations are observed.
