  1. Familiarize yourself with the safety instructions of the installation site.
  2. Make sure the process line is depressurized and empty.
  3. Remove the refractometer from the process. See PR53SD and SDI5 Installation Guide (M212953EN).
  4. Remove the protection caps from the bolts. Keep them for later use.
  5. Remove the retractor and old isolation valve. Loosen the bolts using a 16-mm wrench.
  6. Remove the valve handle with a 27-mm wrench and keep it for later use.
  7. Install the handle into the new isolation valve. Tighten to 75 Nm using a 27-mm wrench.
  8. Install the new isolation valve with the retractor. Align the isolation valve and retractor with the welded connection. Make sure the isolation valve is closed as shown in the figure. Two persons are required for the installation. It is recommended that the valve handle is pointing upward.
    CAUTION If you are using the retrofit mounting kit, make sure the flange adapters and spacer stay in place when installing the new isolation valve.
  9. Cross-tighten the bolts to 27 Nm using a 16-mm wrench. Hold the equipment level while tightening.
    CAUTION Be careful not to over-tighten. Using the ball valve will become difficult if the connections are too tight.
  10. Install protection caps over the nuts. This prevents incorrect usage when the refractometer is retracted.
  11. Make sure all connections are properly tightened.
  12. Install the refractometer. See PR53SD and SDI5 Installation Guide (M212953EN).
