7.3 Mounting instructions
Observe the following instructions, especially for EHEDG certified and 3-A-compliant
instruments.
To maintain the EHEDG certification, one of the EHEDG-recommended process
■
connections must be used.
To maintain the conformity to the 3-A standard, a 3-A-compliant process connection
■
must be used.
Mount the electrical thermometer, including the thermowell, with minimal dead space
■
and able to be cleaned easily.
Installation position of the electrical thermometer including thermowell should be
■
designed to be self-draining.
The mounting position must not form a draining point or cause a basin to be formed.
■
7.4 Cleaning in place (CIP) cleaning process
When cleaning from outside ("wash down"), observe the permissible temperature and
■
ingress protection.
Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for the seals used.
■
Cleaning agents must not be abrasive nor corrosively attack the materials of the wetted
■
parts.
Avoid thermal shocks or fast changes in the temperature. The temperature difference
■
between the cleaning agent and rinsing with clear water should be as low as possible.
Negative example: Cleaning with 80 °C and rinsing at +4 °C with cold water.
