4.1 General instructions
The source container is part of the measuring system. In case the
source container is already equipped with an active isotope, the
source container must be locked before mounting.
Danger:
Before mounting; make sure that the source is securely closed. Use
a padlock to secure the source container in the closed condition and
prevent it from being inadvertently opened.
Protect your instrument through the following measures against
moisture penetration:
•
Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply")
•
Tighten the cable gland
•
Loop the connection cable downward in front of the cable gland
This applies particularly to:
•
outdoor mounting
•
installations in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through
cleaning processes)
•
installations on cooled or heated vessels
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process are
suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
•
Active measuring component
•
Processtting
•
Process seal
Process conditions are particularly:
•
Process pressure
•
Process temperature
•
Chemical properties of the medium
•
Abrasionandmechanicalinuences

In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The
openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red protec-
tive caps as transport protection.
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.
The suitable cable glands and blind plugs come with the instrument.
