LFP Cubic

1.4 Installation conditions

The LFP is mounted vertically from above into the container or bypass, using its process connection.
The LFP level sensor has a G ¾ or ¾" NPT threaded connection. Observe a minimum connection
diameter in accordance with the following Diagrams 1 and 3. The LFP must be installed so that after
mounting there is sufficient distance to other tank components (e.g., supply tubes, other measure-
ment devices), the container wall, or the container bottom. Minimum distances are also described in
Diagrams 1 and 3. The LFP can also be used in a metal immersion pipe or bypass. The installation
conditions are shown in Diagram 2. Ensure that there is a good metallic connection between the
LFP measuring device and the tank/bypass. When operating the sensor, ensure that the ambient
temperature is not above or below the limits. Insulating the sensor housing is not permitted for tanks
with hot media. When positioning the device, ensure that the sensor is not directly exposed to the
filling flow. The sensor housing can be rotated 360°, allowing for the cable outlet to be positioned
freely.
