Loosening the socket head screw (1) and moving the cap do not change the setting of the
sensor. However, moving the cap may be useful to read the label.
Calming sections on the sensor's inlet or outlet side are not necessary.
The sensor can also prevent backflow.
5.2 Interference
u
The following minimum distances must be adhered to:
Distance between the sensor and ferromagnetic materials
≥ 30 mm *
Distance between the sensor and constant / alternating fields
≥ 500 mm
Distance between the sensor axes for side-by-side installation
≥ 50 mm
* The pipe may consist of ferromagnetic material.
