Installing a MACE Doppler Area/Velocity sensor
There are two methods for mounting the MACE Doppler Area/Velocity sensor:
l
Installation with a ZX SnapStrap - typically in pipes smaller than DN800 (32") and where sensors are
mounted temporarily
l
Installation with a mounting plate - typically in pipes larger than DN800 (32") and where sensors are
mounted permanently
Installation with a ZX SnapStrap
WARNING: DO NOT cut the sensor cable. Re-termination of the sensor is highly
specialised and MUST be carried out at a MACE technical facility.
The plastic (polypropylene) ZX SnapStraps are typically used to mount the sensor in locations where
temporary monitoring will take place or when it is undesirable to drill in to the pipe wall. They allow for both
very quick installation and removal of a strap mount sensor. The ZX SnapStrap comes in five lengths to suit
different pipe diameters.

of you. Place the ‘toe’ of the sensor into the front of the hole in the strap. Press the body of the sensor
down onto the strap.
