2.8.1  Inlet, outlet and recommended mounting area

To perform an accurate flow measurement preferably mount the sensor rail at least 10 DN 
downstream of a flow disturbance like elbow, valve, header or pump. Please follow the 
installation recommendations in the next installation position examples.

Note: especially for XT (eXtended Temperature) versions:

CAUTION!

 Always install the sensor at a non-insulated part of the pipe. Remove any insulation if 
necessary!

After installation, the sensor can be completely insulated. The sensor cable must be kept 
away from the hot pipe surface.

Always wear protective gloves.
