NOTICE
Incorrect mounting
The device can be damaged, destroyed, or its functionality impaired through improper
mounting.
Before installing ensure there is no visible damage to the device.
Make sure that process connectors are clean, and suitable gaskets and glands are used.
Mount the device using suitable tools. Refer to the information in Installation instructions
(Page 30).
Note
On devices with a removable head, there is no limit to the number of times a device can be
rotated without damage.
When mounting, orient the front or back of the device towards the closest vessel wall or
obstruction.
Do not rotate the enclosure after programming and vessel calibration, otherwise an error
may occur, caused by a polarity shift of the transmit pulse.
