Attention
■ The seating surfaces and threads on the vessel and mounting flange must be accurately
machined, Fig. 8
■ Use GESTRA PN 160 hat flange when applying the equipment in a high-pressure steam
boiler.
■ Do not bend the electrode tip when cutting.
■ Use only the supplied ring joint 27 x 32, form D, DIN 7603, 1.4301, bright-annealed.
■ Do not lag the electrode body.
■ Do not insulate the threads with hemp or PTFE tape.
■ Do not apply conductive paste or grease to the electrode thread.
■ Provide a min. spacing of 14 mm between electrode and earth (flange, boiler wall),
Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13
■ Observe the minimum distances for the installation of the electrode.
Installation
NRG 1...-11, step 1
1. Screw electrode tip
D into measuring electrode A, Fig. 5
2. Carefully determine required measuring length, taking minimum length into account.
3. Mark length of electrode tip
D.
4. Unscrew electrode tip
D from measuring electrode A and cut tip.
5. Screw electrode tip
D into measuring electrode A and tighten. Slide spring C along electrode tip
D, so that its bent end completely enters into small bore B.
6. If a measuring surface extension is required slip sleeve
E onto electrode tip D ensuring that the
electrode tip protrudes 2 mm from sleeve. Fasten sleeve with screw
G. Push star-lock washer F
over electrode tip against sleeve.
NRG 1...-11, step 2
1. Check seating surfaces,
Fig. 8
2. Place joint ring
H onto seating surface I of electrode, Fig. 6
3. Apply a light smear of silicone grease (e. g. Molykote
®
111) to electrode thread J.
4. Screw level electrode into threads of flange provided on vessel and tighten with a 36 mm ring
spanner. The torque required is 160 Nm when cold.
