2.3 Mounting instructions
Orientation in the piping
The Magphant is best mounted in vertical piping.
If the piping runs horizontally, then the Magphant is to be mounted to the side.
This mounting procedure ensures that the electrodes are always immersed in flowing
fluid.
Caution!
Never weld the weld stub to the pipe with the Magphant in place.
Position of the electrode axis
The sensor is to be mounted so that the electrode axis is always 90° to the direction of
flow. The two PG 16 cable glands can be used as a visual check as these also lie on
the same axis.
