Where is the best place to mount the sensor in a corrugated pipe?
l
Insertion sensor : this sensor type should always be mounted so that the leading edge of the sensor's
angled face bisects the apex of a corrugated "ridge".
l
Strap mount sensor
: this sensor type should be mounted so that the corrugations are "filled in" to
negate any debris attracting points around the sensor.
What size channel is suitable for MACE Doppler ultrasonics?
Mace recommends a maximum channel width of 20m (66ft). MACE recommends a reliable stream gauging
be performed for best system accuracy.
Is there likely to be silt build-up over the sensor?
If this is the case, MACE recommends mounting the sensor on the side wall of the pipe instead of near the
bottom of the pipe. See diagram .
How far can the sensor be mounted from the XCi device?
A maximum of 50 metres (150ft) of cable is available on any MACE sensor.
