Physical Installation

1) The LS2000 is installed into the vessel wall using a connection. This can be either a threaded coupling or a tapped

entry such as a flange.

2) The insulator should always extend at least 2” through the vessel wall.

3) Always check for physical room around the location you have chosen to allow for installation. Allow 3.75” turning

radius to screw the probe in and clearance above for the length of the probe.

CAUTION: Always take the necessary safety precautions when cutting or welding in the coupling for the LS2000.

a) Tag and lock out the electrical power to the equipment that services the vessels.

b) Check liquid or dry powders that create a gas in the vessel for oxygen as well as the explosion factor.

(All dust will explode.)

c) Vessels that are cross vented have to be isolated.

5) Screw the LS2000 into the connection provided. In dry material application, no sealant on threads is required. On

liquid, teflon or a good pipe thread sealant may be used.

6) The LS2000 has a ¾” conduit entry. When wiring these units, conform to the National Electrical Code and any

other city or company codes.

7) Always install the electrical connection into the ¾” conduit entry on the LS2000 so water will not follow the

connection routing into the threads of the conduit hub. To guarantee that condensation and water will stay outside

the unit, install an EYSM unilet before each LS2000 and fill with explosion proof sealing cement.

Removing the Electronics

1) Disconnect supply power at main power source

2) Disconnect wires from terminal strip

3) Unplug blue antenna lead

4) Remove green grounding screw

To reinstall, reverse the above procedure.
