Figure 2-8: Pressure and temperature ranges
1 Process connection temperature
The process connection temperature must stay in the temperature range of the gasket material unless the device is
a High-Temperature version. Refer to the table "Temperature ranges for gaskets" that follows and to "Technical data"
on page 42.
Ex devices: see supplementary operating instructions
2 Ambient temperature for operation of the display
-20...+60°C / -5...+140°F
If the ambient temperature is not between these limits, the display screen switches off automatically
3 Ambient temperature
Non-Ex devices: -40...+80°C / -40...+176°F
Ex devices: see supplementary operating instructions
4 Process pressure
Refer to the table "Process pressure limits" that follows and "Pressure/temperature table for probe selection" in the
handbook.
WARNING!
The process connection temperature range must agree with the temperature limits of the
gasket material. The operating pressure range is subject to the process connection used and the
flange temperature.

2.7.2 General information for nozzles
CAUTION!
Follow these recommendations to make sure that the device measures correctly.
Figure 2-9: Recommended nozzle dimensions for single rod and single cable probes
1 Recommended conditions: h ≤ d, where h is the height of the tank nozzle and d is the diameter of the tank nozzle.
2 The end of the nozzle must not have an extension into the tank. Do not install the device on a high nozzle.
INSTALLATION
2
CAUTION!
If the device is installed on a high nozzle, make sure that the probe does not touch the side of the
nozzle (attach the probe end, ...). We recommend that you use a coaxial probe (this solution is
applicable only to liquids).
INFORMATION!
It is possible to measure in these conditions with a minimum top dead zone. Use the snapshot
function to filter the parasite signals from long nozzles. For more data, refer to the Handbook.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION!
Do not put the process connection near to the product inlet. If the product that enters the tank
touches the probe, the device will measure incorrectly.

1 If product particles are likely to collect in holes, a nozzle is not recommended.
2 Attach the flange directly to the tank.
3 Use a threaded connection to attach the device directly to the tank.
INFORMATION!
If your device has a coaxial probe, you can ignore these installation recommendations.

2.8.2 How to attach probes to the bottom of the tank
If the liquid is agitated or turbulent, you can attach the probe to the bottom of the tank. The
procedure to attach the probe depends on the type of probe used.
For more data, refer to the Handbook.
2.8.3 Standpipes
Use a standpipe if:
• There is highly conductive foam in the tank.
• The liquid is very turbulent or agitated.
• There are too many other objects in the tank.
• The device is measuring a liquid (petro-chemicals) in a tank with a floating roof.
For more data, refer to the Handbook.

INFORMATION!
Standpipes are not necessary for devices with coaxial probes. But if there is a sudden change in
diameter in the standpipe, we recommend that you install a device with a coaxial probe.
