CAUTION!
When installing the device, the following points must be observed:
•
Before installation, compare the serial number of the display (nameplate) with the serial
number on the displacement rod, the flange and the magnet.
•
In the case of level displays with a bypass chamber, the BW25 serial number on the bypass
chamber should be compared with the serial number on the display.
•
Avoid combining parts with differing serial numbers.
•
Ensure the material compatibility of the parts in contact with the product.
•
Screws, bolts and gaskets are to be provided by the customer and must be selected in
accordance with the pressure rating of the mounting flange or the operating pressure.
•
Align the gaskets. Tighten the nuts with the tightening torques of the appropriate pressure
rating.
•
Do not lay signal cables directly next to cables for the power supply.

7.1 Maintenance
During routine operational maintenance of the system, the level meter should also be checked
for soiling, corrosion and mechanical wear or damage to the displacer rod, pressure sleeve and
the display.
We advise that inspections be carried out at least once per year. The device must be removed
before cleaning.
CAUTION!
Before dismantling, ensure that the tank is depressurised and vented.
In the case of devices used for measuring aggressive media, appropriate safety precautions
must be taken with regard to residual liquids on the measuring unit.
Avoid electrostatic charges when cleaning the surfaces (e.g. sight window)!
7.2 Spare parts availability
The manufacturer adheres to the basic principle that functionally adequate spare parts for each
device or each important accessory part will be kept available for a period of 3 years after
delivery of the last production run for the device.
SERVICE 7
This regulation only applies to spare parts which are subject to wear and tear under normal
operating conditions.
7.3 Availability of services
The manufacturer offers a range of services to support the customer after expiration of the
warranty. These include repair, technical support and training.
INFORMATION!
For more precise information, please contact your local representative.
7.4 Returning the device to the manufacturer
7.4.1 General information
This device has been carefully manufactured and tested. If installed and operated in accordance
with these operating instructions, it will rarely present any problems.

8 TECHNICAL DATA
8.1 Operating principle
The device works according to the displacement principle.
The length of the displacer rod 4 corresponds to the measuring range 2.
The displacer rod 4 suspended from a measuring spring 1 is immersed in the liquid and
detects a lifting force, which is proportional to the mass of the displaced liquid.
Each change to the rod weight corresponds to the change in the length of the spring and is thus a
measure of the filling height.
The expansion of the spring and thus the measuring stroke is transmitted to a display using a
solenoid coupling from the measuring chamber.
If the device cannot be installed from above, e.g. because there is an agitator in the tank, then
there is a special bypass chamber available for side mounting.
The lift of the proportional rod is dependent on the density of the product.
The level indication must be displayed for the liquid to be measured.
The difference in density between the tank atmosphere and liquid must be at least 100 g/l.
The atmospheric pressure and temperature must be known.
Due to the length of the spring suspension pin 3, the unmeasureable area is L = 340 mm.
