Installation
6 Installation
Before installing the sensor, the sensor body has to be installed into the pipeline.
Observe the following conditions:
• As a basic principle, install the sensor body into the pipeline with optical
arms of the sensor in horizontal position (see fig. 5 and fig. 6).
• Avoid installation in vertical position (see fig. 7). Deposits that affect
accurate measurements might form on lower window. Furthermore,
thermical problems, depending on process and ambiance conditions,
cannot be ruled out. If such problems are not expected because of the
process, vertical installation is admissible.
- 14 -
optek-sensors AF56, Version 02.2008_1.1US, 06.02.2008
www.optek.com
Installation
• Do not install the sensor body directly behind valves or other flow
obstacles.
• Make sure that no extraneous light sources are located near the sensor
in order not to distort measuring results.
• Already during installation, ensure that at all times during operation the
sensor body is filled completely with process medium. This way,
misinterpretation of measuring results can be avoided.
• Dimensioning details are given in the technical data.
• Windows and window rings have to be installed to the sensor body
correctly (also see instruction manual of the corresponding sensor body).

Installation
Note!
O-Rings are delivered separately and are not installed at delivery.
Danger!
Isopropanol is irritating!
Observe the safety regulations when handling Isopropanol!
3. Make sure that the windows of the sensor body are clean. If not, clean them
with Isopropanol.
4. Check the window ring threads for damage and soiling and clean them if
necessary.
5. Screw on sensor assemblies for detector and lamp sides to the sensor body
hand-tight (right-hand thread, fig. 9). It is recommended to use the supplied
installation paste.

optek-sensors AF56, Version 02.2008_1.1US, 06.02.2008
www.optek.com
Installation
Should the temperature of the process medium be too low, the temperature of
the air inside the optical housing might fall below dew point. This leads to
condensation deposits on the window surfaces. For this event, there are either
air purge connections on the window rings of the sensor body or on the optical
housings of the sensor.
Note!
If the product is more than 10 °C (18 °F) cooler than the ambient air of the
sensor, always connect air purge.
At delivery, the drill holes of the air purge connections are sealed with O-Ring
and sealing screws M5 x 6 (DIN 84).
1. Remove the sealing screws and O-Rings.
2. Check if there are O-Rings on air purge connections.
3. Install air purge connections (24, fig. 10) screwing.
4. Place the air purge hoses on the air purge connections (24).

Fig. 10 Window ring air purge connections (left) and optical housing air purge connections (right)
After connecting the sensor to the power supply and putting it into operation,
rinse it as described below:
1. Loosen the two adapters (4, 12) turning each 2-3 turns anticlockwise.
2. Rinse the optical housing by aerating it with dry, oil and dust free air for
approx. 10 minutes at a maximum of 0.5 bar (7.25 psi) gauge pressure.
In case you do not have air purge supply of appropriate quality, you can use
the optek Air Drying System ADS.
3. Reduce air pressure to approx. 0.1 bar (1.45 psi).
4. Retighten the adapter. Keep up the gauge pressure. Air consumption in this
operational state is minimal.
5. Make sure the O-Rings are fitted correctly.

Connection to converter 156
For connecting the sensor cables, observe the following basic conditions:
• Bring the sensor cable to the cable entry from underneath.
• Form a loop with the sensor cable close to the cable entry.
• Do not lay sensor cables in ducts of current-carrying lines.
• Observe cable specifications (see technical data).
• To lay sensor cables underground without protection is prohibited.
For the connection of the sensor to the converter, there are sensor cables with
plug-protection on the sensor side (15, 17; fig. 11) or without plug-
protection (11, 14).
Connection to the On the sensor side, mixing up sensor cables is not possible, as plugs are

• 9-pin plug on the detector side (11, 17),
• 4-pin plug on the lamp side (14, 15)

side:
1. Loosen the connection cover of the sensor.
2. Ensure there is an O-Ring (7, fig. 13) for plug-protection.
3. Plug in the sensor cable.
4. Fasten each of the four screws of the plug-protection (17) with washer.

Caution!
Lamp voltage must be adjusted to the cable length in order to compensate
voltage loss in the cable. Too low lamp voltage can lead to wrong measuring
results. Too high lamp voltage reduces the life of the lamp module considerably.
Follow the instructions in the instruction manual of the converter. During
operation, voltage at the lamp is 4.8 V DC.
