Remote Sensor Mounting
Many applications require that the sensor be mounted remote from the transmitter, e.g.,
duct mount application. In these applications, it is important that the sensor be separated
from the transmitter
no more than 50’.
Scott Safety provides three different remote
mount installations.
1.
Option 50XX-XX-2: Integral cable attached to sensor housing and to transmitter.
Standard length is 3 feet but any length between 1-50 feet may be ordered.
Common applications are indoor duct mount
.
See figure 10.
2.
Option 50XX-XX-4: Integral cable only attached to sensor housing and supplied any
length between 1-50 feet may be ordered. A ¾” FNPT fitting is integral to the
Freedom™ 5000 transmitter as well as a ¾” MNPT fitting on the stainless steel
sensor housing. This allows the end user to fit the Scott Safety supplied cable
inside conduit. Conduit must be obtained from your local vendor.
Conduit must be
a minimum ¾” size in order to allow the sensor cable connector to pass
through the conduit.
Common applications are outdoor or heavy industrial areas.
3.
Option 50XX-XX-5: This complete package provides three feet separation and
flexible conduit with water tight aluminum fittings. This only comes in a three foot
length. Conduit shipped uninstalled and must be fitted into the Freedom™ 5000 in
the field. Common applications are outdoor or heavy industrial areas where the end
user wants to mount the transmitter display at eye level while placing the sensor 18
inches above ground level, e.g. to detect gases heavier than air.
4.
Avoid PVC
– The Model 5000 Gas Transmitter enclosure and sensor housing are
made of the material Noryl.
Do not
allow this material to come in continuous contact
with PVC, as this will result in damage to the Noryl.
5.
Important
: The stainless steel sensor housing
must be
electrically isolated from
ground.
