4.3 Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 97/23/EC
Siemens Level Transmitters with flanged, threaded, or sanitary clamp type process mounts
have no pressure-bearing housing of their own, and therefore do not come under the
Pressure Equipment Directive as pressure nor safety accessories (see EU Commission
Guideline 1/8 and 1/20).
SITRANS LC300 as supplied in the standard probe lengths is normally mounted on the vessel
top or through the tank wall at the detection level (if used as Point Level switch).
The cable version is designed for top mounting. The cable suspends vertically so that it
reaches into the process with the end of the cable being the start of the measurement
(dependent on probe option).
