If operating outdoors:
‣
Avoid direct sunlight, particularly in warm climatic regions.
You can order a weather protection cover from Endress+Hauser : →  178
System pressure
It is important that cavitation does not occur, or that gases entrained in the liquids do not outgas.
Cavitation is caused if the pressure drops below the vapor pressure:
• In liquids that have a low boiling point (e.g. hydrocarbons, solvents, liquefied gases)
• In suction lines
Ensure the system pressure is sufficiently high to prevent cavitation and outgassing.
‣
For this reason, the following mounting locations are recommended:
• At the lowest point in a vertical pipe
• Downstream from pumps (no danger of vacuum)
A0028777
Thermal insulation
In the case of some fluids, it is important that the heat radiated from the sensor to the transmitter is kept to a minimum. A wide range of materials can be used for the required insulation.
NOTICE

NOTICE
Danger of overheating when heating
Ensure that the temperature at the lower end of the transmitter housing does not
‣
exceed 80 °C (176 °F). Ensure that convection takes place on a sufficiently large scale at the transmitter neck.
‣
Ensure that a sufficiently large area of the housing support remains exposed. The
‣
uncovered part serves as a radiator and protects the electronics from overheating and excessive cooling.
Heating options
If a fluid requires that no heat loss should occur at the sensor, users can avail of the following heating options:
• Electrical heating, e.g. with electric band heaters
• Via pipes carrying hot water or steam
• Via heating jackets
Using an electrical trace heating system
If heating is regulated via phase angle control or pulse packages, magnetic fields can affect the measured values (= for values that are greater than the values permitted by the EN standard (sine 30 A/m)).
For this reason, the sensor must be magnetically shielded: the housing can be shielded with tin plates or electric sheets without a privileged direction (e.g. V330-35A).
The sheet must have the following properties:
• Relative magnetic permeability µr ≥ 300
• Plate thickness d ≥ 0.35 mm (d ≥ 0.014 in)
Vibrations
The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the measuring system is not influenced by plant vibrations.

6.1.3 Special mounting instructions

Rupture disk
Make sure that the function and operation of the rupture disk is not impeded through the installation of the device. The position of the rupture disk is indicated on a sticker beside it.
The transportation guard must be removed.
Information that is relevant to the process: →  197.
For information on the dimensions: see the "Mechanical construction" section of the "Technical Information" document
The existing connecting nozzles are not intended for the purpose of rinsing or pressure monitoring, but instead serve as the mounting location for the rupture disk.

7.6.1 Setting the device address

The device address must always be configured for a Modbus slave. The valid device addresses are in the range from 1 to 247. Each address may only be assigned once in a Modbus RS485 network. If an address is not configured correctly, the measuring device is not recognized by the Modbus master. All measuring devices are delivered from the factory with the device address 247 and with the "software addressing" address mode.
