Where is the best place to mount the sensor in a Full pipe?
The sensor should be mounted on the side wall of the pipe, between the 2 and 5 o’ clock positions. A ball
valve should be used when mounting “ Insert ” type sensor to allow for easy maintenance.
WARNING: Don’t mount the sensor at the top of the pipe as air pockets could give
unreliable readings. Don’t mount the sensor at the bottom of the pipe as silt build-up
can cover the sensor. Only mount the sensor between 2 and 5 o’clock as shown
above.
Where is the best place to mount the sensor in a partially full pipe or channel?
The sensor must be mounted such that the depth sensor is always covered by water to a depth of at least
50mm (2 inches).
