Clamp-in Installation instruction

Required tools:
1. Wrench size 8, and 24
2. Drill
3. Hex keys size 4
4. Grease

Danger: Maximum pressure for this product is 16 bar. (Maximum pressure for mounting
and dismounting sensor is 3 bar). For this installation there cannot be any pressure and the
pipeline must be shut down.

Important note: Please do not throw away the 3 extension guiders and 3 safety nuts. They
are needed in the future to remove the sensor when needed.

 Clamp-in Installation instruction

1. Clamp the saddle on to the pipe where the SDM will be installed.
- Clean the surface of the pipe and make it free of rust, soil and sand.
- Check the SDM manual for the correct orientation and determine the correct location on
the pipe.
- Wet the rubber and pipe with a lubricant. Don't use grease!

Important note: For the correct orientation on the pipe see the SDM manual first.

2. Fasten the 2 bolts of the saddle with a wrench size 24.

Tightening torque:
90Nm for diameters smaller than 150mm
110Nm for diameters equal to or greater than 150mm

3. Insert the drill tool and tighten until it is fully seated in the saddle.

Danger: Make sure there is no pressure on the line before you start drilling.

4. Use a drill and the supplied drill bit to drill a hole in the pipe. When the hole is drilled,
remove the drill tool and clean thoroughly and make sure that no residue is left in the thread
of the saddle. Use for example an air compressor or vacuum cleaner.

Danger: Please be aware parts can become very hot from drilling causing burns if
touched. Steel partials can be sharp make sure to use your PPE’s.

Important note: Clean after drilling and make sure no particles are left in the threads.
Any residue left will damage the threads and result in incorrect installation or damage
the product beyond useability.

5. Grease the threads of the ball valve and the threads of the saddle. Place the ball valve and
tighten firm by hand until the ball valve is completely in the saddle.

6. Place the 3 extension guiders.

7. Place the clamp-in flange until you reach the guider with screw thread. Screw the clamp-in
flange a little bit by turning the guider with screw thread with Hex key size 4 to keep it in
place. In the next 2 steps you can see how the distance is determined.

Important note: It is very important for the operation of the SDM that the sensor is flush
with the inside wall of the pipe. A measuring tool for sensor distance is included to
determine the correct distance.

8. Open the ball valve and place the supplied measuring tool for sensor distance true the ball
valve into the pipe. The angled points at the end of the measuring tool for sensor distance
meet the inside of the pipe to indicate the inside wall of the pipe.

9. Tighten the clamp-in flange by turning the guider with screw threat using hex key 4 until it
matches the line marking on the supplied measuring tool for sensor distance. Make sure the
angled points stay on the inside wall of the pipe. This can be checked by pulling the
measuring tool for sensor distance back gently.

The clamp-in flange may become skewed during tightening. Should this happen, do not over
tighten the guider with tread, but align the clamp-in flange by pushing it in by hand. After the
clamp-in flange has been aligned, tightening the guider with tread should be smooth again.

Important note: Guider with screw tread can damage due to skewing of the clamp-in
flange and damage the product beyond useability.

10. Place the sensor in the clamp-in flange and tighten the 8 bolts to 4.2nM with a wrench size 8.

11. Remove the 3 extension guides and keep them stored in order to disassemble the sensor in
the future when needed.

Important note: Disconnect the power supply of the SDM before doing any work. Be very
careful with the 3 golden spring-loaded contacts of the sensor (see red arrow). Make sure
they are not damaged, get wet or dirty. This could result in a problem with the ultrasonic
measurement of the SDM. Protect it, for example, by covering it with plastic or tape.

The clamp-in installation instruction is complete follow the SDM manual to place the SDM
analyzer onto the sensor.

Important note: Please do not throw away the 3 extension guiders and 3 safety nuts. They are
needed in the future to remove the sensor when needed.
