3.3 Storage and transport
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
according to DIN EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environmentfriendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE foil
is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.
l Storage and transport temperature see chapter "Supplement -
Technical data - Ambient conditions"
l Relative humidity 20 … 85 %

4.1 General instructions
In the following cases, we recommend using an instrument version
with external housing:
l if the standard housing is too big
l if strong vibrations can damage the electronics
In Ex
applications, only a housing with appropriate Ex approval must be
used.
4.2 Mounting preparations
The following tools are required for mounting:
l Allen key, size 4
l Fork wrench, wrench size 19
We recommend using further material when mounting the wall
mounting plate.
l 4 screws, depending on the mounting surface
4.3 Mounting steps
1 Mark the holes according to the following drilling template
2 Depending on the mounting surface, fasten the wall mounting
plate with 4 screws

template - wall mounting plate
Mount the wall mounting plate so that the cable entry of the socket
housing points downward. Rain and condensation water can thus drain
off. The socket housing can be displaced by 180° to the wall mounting
plate.
Turn the cable gland of the instrument housing downward. The basic
body of the instrument housing can be turned by 330° without any
tools.
ning:

The four screws of the socket housing must only be hand-screwed. A
torque > 5 Nm (3.688 lbf ft) can damage the wall mounting plate.
4.4 Mounting - external housing (instrument
housing)
à Mount the sensor to the bottom, depending on the process fitting
Note:
When
mounting the sensor, note the instructions in the operating
instructions manual of the sensor.
