Mounting in oil/petrol separators

EN
Read the chapter on Safety and, in particular, the section on Installation and commissioning
(see chapter 1.6.1)before connecting the sensor. Do not remove the identification plate.
Warning!
Risk of short circuit
Injuries and damage to the device are possible when working with live parts.

During installation, observe the instructions of the oil/petrol separator manufacturer. Always
ensure that the sensor suspension device remains constantly at the correct height. If possible,
ensure that the suspension device is mounted in a location that can be reached from the
separator access shaft so that it is possible to raise the sensor during separator emptying
(disposal) or maintenance of the oil/petrol separator.
An exact height adjustment is made with the mounting set. For securing in a concrete
container, use mounting set NVO5-B supplied with the equipment. For containers, tanks or
separators made of other materials, e. g. plastic or metal, use other appropriate means of
mounting (screws and dowels).
When the liquid level is correct, the sensor must be submerged a few centimeters into the
liquid. Exactly how far it is submerged depends on the type of the oil/petrol separator, the
design and the capacitance. The sensor must be suspended above the liquid. The switch point
(see chapter 2.2, dimension drawing, position 2) of the sensor is located at the tip of the sensor.
This means that the tip of the sensor must be installed at the height specified as the maximum
layer thickness.

Before working on the device, always disconnect the supply voltage.
Connect the device to the supply voltage only after completion of the work.
