For accurate measurement it is of paramount importance to avoid T gradients along the probe. In case of large T
difference between the front and the back of the probe, it is highly recommended to insert the probe completely
into the process. Should this not be possible, place a thermal isolation layer on the part of the probe outside the
process (on the cable side).
Humidity and Temperature Sensor | 14
Page 15
The stainless steel mounting flange is not appropriate for pressure-tight mounting. For pressure-tight
requirements, use EE310-T10.
For probe hanging on its cable from the ceiling in applications where condensation is likely to happen, it is
important to avoid condense water getting from the cable to the probe and into the sensing head. For this
purpose, use the drip water protection (see 8 Spare Parts and Accessories).
4.5 Mounting Pressure-Tight Probe of EE310-T10
WARNING
General safety instructions for pressure-tight installation
The installation, commissioning and operation of the EE310-T10 may be performed by qualified staff
only. Special attention shall be paid to the correct installation of the probe into the process. In case of
inappropriate installation there is the risk for the probe to be suddenly expulsed due to the pressure in the
process.
Bending over the sensing probe should be avoided under any circumstances!
Make sure that the surface of the probe is not damaged during installation. A damaged probe surface may
lead to damaged seals and consequently to leakage and pressure loss.
The probe is rated with leakage rate B according to EN12266-1.
User Manual EE310
4.5.1. Installation of the Probe Directly in the Process
NOTICE
For direct probe installation shut-off valves shall be placed on both sides of the probe insert (see Fig. 10
Installation of the EE310-T10 probe directly into the process). This allows the sensor probe to be easily
removed for maintenance and calibration.
For direct installation into a pressure chamber make sure that the pressure in the chamber and the ambient
pressure are equal before removing the probe. The temperature during probe installation may deviate by
max. ±40 °C (±72 °F) from the regular temperature during normal operation.
Replace the metal sealing ring (see Fig. 10) by a new one every time before re-installing the probe.
Probe installation steps
1. Close both shut-off valves.
2. Place the sensor probe into the probe insert and adjust the immersion depth.
3. Tighten the lock nut with a torque of 30 Nm.
4. Open the shut-off valves.
WARNING
Strictly observe the tightening torque. A torque lower than 30 Nm results in a smaller retention force of the
clamping sleeve. This leads the risk of sudden expulsion of the sensing probe due to the pressure. A torque
higher than 30 Nm may lead to permanent deformation of the clamping sleeve and the sensing probe. This
would make the removal and re-installation of the probe difficult or even impossible.

4.5.2. Installation of the Probe with Ball Valve Set
User Manual EE310
The ball valve set allows for installation and removal of the probe without process interruption.
For mounting into a duct, the ball valve shall be installed perpendicular to the flow direction.
NOTICE
The two metal sealing rings (see Fig. 11 Installation of the probe by utilizing the ball valve set) shall be
replaced every time prior to re-installing the probe.
The temperature during probe installation may deviate by max. ±40 °C (±72 °F) from the regular temperature
during normal operation.
Installation of the probe (see Fig. 11)
1. Install the probe into the ball valve while the ball valve is closed.
2. Open the ball valve.
3. Slide the probe through the ball valve to the desired immersion depth. Depending on the process pressure
additional tools may be necessary for pushing the probe into the process. Make sure not to damage the probe
and the cable.
4. Tighten the lock nut with a torque of 30 Nm.
WARNING
Observe strictly the tightening torque. A torque lower than 30 Nm results a smaller retention force of the
clamping sleeve. This leads the risk of sudden expulsion of the sensing probe due to the pressure. A torque
higher than 30 Nm may lead to permanent deformation of the clamping sleeve and the sensing probe. This
would make the removal and re-installation of the probe difficult or even impossible.
