Personal injury can occur if the unit and connections become hot or media
under pressure (up to 15 bar) or hot media (up to 180 °C) leak.
► Install the unit according to the applicable rules and regulations.
► Ensure that the system is free of pressure during installation.
► Ensure that no media can leak at the mounting location during installation.
► Equip the unit with suitable protection (e.g. cover) to avoid hazard to person-
nel from touching the sensor, connections and cables or from leaking media.
► Insert the unit into the R ¾ pipe according to the direction of flow (arrow) and

The best precision of the sensor is achieved by horizontal installation in a
horizontal pipe (fig. 1).
