sensor in relation to flow disturbances. In general, the best accuracy will occur where flow is evenly distributed
across the channel/pipe and free of turbulence.
Specific installation considerations are listed and discussed in more detail below.

Open Discharges or Pipe/Channel Outfalls
When the QZ02 sensor is to be mounted in front (upstream) of an open discharge or pipe/channel outfall,
the sensor should be placed at least 5 times the maximum head level in front of the outfall:
