Maintenance
No special maintenance work is required.
6.1
Exterior cleaning
When cleaning the exterior of measuring devices, always use cleaning agents that do not attack the
surface of the housing and the seals.
6.2
Coupling fluid
A coupling fluid is required to ensure the acoustic link between the sensor and the piping. This is
applied to the sensor surface during commissioning. Periodic replacement of the coupling fluid is
usually not required.
!
Note!
If too much coupling fluid is applied, signal transmission is reduced by up to 10 dB.

!
Note!
• Avoid to use a thick layer of the coupling fluid (less is more).
• Clean and reapply new coupling fluid when sensor is removed from the pipe.
• On rough pipe surfaces e.g. GRP pipes ensure that the gaps are filled. Apply suffizienet copling
fluid.
• A change in the signal strength might indicate a dotorration of the coupling fluid. No action is
required as long as the signal strength is higher than 50 dB.
