Installation conditions
No special measures such as supports are necessary. External forces are absorbed by the construction
of the device.

Mounting position
Mounting location
Preferably install the sensor in an ascending pipe, and ensure a sufficient distance to the next pipe
elbow: h =

A0017061
To prevent measuring errors arising from accumulation of gas bubbles in the measuring tube, avoid
the following mounting locations in the pipe:
• Highest point of a pipeline.
• Directly upstream of a free pipe outlet in a down pipe.
Installation in down pipes
Install a siphon or a vent valve downstream of the sensor in down pipes whose length
h
³
5 m (16.4 ft).This precaution is to avoid low pressure and the consequent risk of damage to the
measuring tube. This measure also prevents the system losing prime, which could cause air pockets.
