The instrumentmust be mounted in such a way that the probe is at the height of therequested switching point.Before beginning the welding work, remove the electronics modulefrom the sensor. By doing this, you avoid damage to the electronicsthrough inductive coupling.Ground the probe before welding directly on the rod or cable.With threaded versions, the housing must not be used to screw in theinstrument. Applying tightening forces on the housing can damage itsinternal parts.Use the hexagon for screwing in.Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to powersupply") and tighten the cable gland.You can give your instrument additional protection against moisturepenetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of thecable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This ap-plies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas wherehigh humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or oncooled or heated vessels.Fig. 4: Measures against moisture ingressThe process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or low pressure inthe vessel. Before use, check if the seal material is resistant againstthe measured product and the process temperature.Suitability for the processconditionsSwitching pointWelding workHandlingMoisturePressure/Vacuum
