4.1 General instructions
With instruments with threaded process fitting, suitable tools must be
applied for tightening the hexagon.
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying
tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process, in
particular the antenna, seal and process fitting, are suitable for the
existing process conditions. These include above all the process
pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical properties of
the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" or on the
type label.
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This
applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas
where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or
on cooled or heated vessels.
