Recommendations for directly mounted temperature sensors
When mounting a temperature sensor directly in the outlet of the flow sensor, acceptable orientations for the
temperature sensor must be taken into account. For heat installations (
Figure 19 (a)
), the orientation of a temperature
sensor is not important as long as a homogeneous temperature distribution can be assumed, i.e. all orientations can be
accepted. For cooling installations (
), water penetration into the sensor element must be avoided. Therefore,
a temperature sensor is mounted ideally from the bottom pointing with its tip upwards and can be rotated up to a
horizontal position.

These recommendations for temperature sensor installation comply with the recommendations for flow sensor
installation illustrated in
. However, while a temperature sensor can well be directly installed in a
flow sensor for cooling installation mounted in an ascending pipe, it must not be mounted in a flow sensor for cooling
installation mounted in a descending pipe.

Mounting of Pulse Transmitter and Pulse Divider
6.7.1
Orientation of Pulse Transmitter and Pulse Divider
Mounting Pulse Transmitter and Pulse Divider, the cable screw connections must always be horizontally or downwards
oriented in order to avoid the risk of water and condensation being led into the electronics box via the cables. This is
especially important in moist environments.
Furthermore, wires/cables must in general hang freely downwards after cable screw connections to form a drip nose for
drainage of water and condensation.
