The probe can be installed in the process through the ball valve assembly
provided that the process pressure is less than 10 bars. This way, the process does
not have to be shut down when installing or removing the probe. However, if the
process is shut down before removing the probe, the process pressure can be
max. 20 bars.
When measuring temperature dependent quantities make sure that the
temperature at the measurement point is equal to that of the process, otherwise
the moisture reading may be incorrect.
After attaching the ball valve kit to process as instructed in Attaching ball valve kit to process
(page 75), install the probe through the ball valve as follows:
1. Shut down the process if the process pressure is more than 10 bars. If the pressure is lower
there is no need to shut down the process.
2. Close the ball valve.
3. Seal the threads on the fitting body: see Figure 30 (page 73).
4. Attach the fitting body to the ball valve and tighten it.
5. Slide the clasp nut of the probe toward the filter, as far as it goes.
6. Insert the probe to the fitting body, and manually tighten the clasp nut to the fitting body.
7. Open the ball valve.
8. Push the probe through the ball valve assembly into the process. If the pressure is high,
use the pressing handle that is provided with the probe. If you push the probe hard
without using the handle, you may damage the cable.
Note that the probe must be pushed so deep that the filter is completely
inside the process flow.
Mark the fitting screw and the clasp nut (see Attaching HMP378 to process with fitting
body (page 73)).
9. Tighten the clasp nut with a fork wrench a further 50 … 60° (approximately 1/6 turn). If
you have a suitable torque wrench, tighten the nut to max 45 ± 5 Nm (33 ± 4 ft-lbs).
Take care not to tighten the clasp nut more than 60° to avoid diculties
when opening it.
10. If you wish to remove the probe from the process, note that you have to pull the probe out
far enough for the valve to have room to close. You cannot close the valve if the groove on
the probe body is not visible (see Figure 31 (page 77)).
