Figure 1

▶ Slightly grease the thread and sealing area of the sensor and the adapter with a lubricating paste (A).
The lubricating paste must be suitable and approved for the given application and compatible with the elastomers used.
▶ Place the sealing ring (B) in the groove (C) of the sensor.
The adapter is supplied with an EPDM O-ring. More sealing rings are available as accessories: FKM O-ring, order no. E30123.

Figure 2:

▶ Screw the sensor into the adapter until it is hand-tight.
▶ Neither damage the seals nor the sealing areas.

Figure 3:

▶ Clamp the adapter with the screwed-in sensor into a clamping device (D). Do not deform or damage the adapter.
▶ Tighten the sensor using a spanner until you can feel the end stop (this corresponds to a maximum tightening torque of 35 Nm).

Further tightening may impair the sealing effect.

▷ If the sealing surfaces are damaged, replace the device or the adapter.

▶ Remove the adapter with the sensor from the clamping device.
▶ Install the adapter with the sensor in the plant.
