Operation 
(Continued) 
A scale with 0.20 in (0.5 cm) grating on the immersion stem and the extension pipe 
indicates the immersion depth. 
The connecting flange is used to attach and seal the immersion stem on the duct wall. 
A plastic housing with removable cover accommodates the transducer. It can be 
screwed to a flat surface. 
The sensor cable is connected: the sensor and the transducer are a unit. 
The measuring ranges are selected by inserting or removing a plug-in jumper. 
Protection against false wiring is provided related to own voltages. (Measuring output 
U1 is short-circuit proof.) The sensor head connections are not protected against 24 
Vac operating voltage.
