4.1 Mounting ST 3000 Transmitter, Continued
High Temperature Transmitter Mounting
ATTENTION
You can mount the high temperature transmitter directly to the process flange connection or the process piping. Figure 9 shows typical pipe and flange mounted transmitter installations for comparison.
To mount a flange mounted transmitter model, bolt the transmitter’s flange to the flange on the wall of the tank or process pipe.
It is the End User’s responsibility to provide a flange gasket and mounting hardware that are suitable for the transmitter’s service condition.
Once the transmitter is mounted, the transmitter housing can be rotated to the desired position. See Table 8, step 4.
On insulated tanks, remove enough insulation to accommodate the flange extension.
