3.3 Orientation and datum location
The datum of the
RBR
quartz³
Q is located at the centre of the pressure sensor diaphragm. RBR performs an offset
adjustment with the sensor facing downwards, as shown in the first image
.
It is recommended to deploy the instrument
vertically
to match the way it was calibrated.
It is acceptable to deploy horizontally if necessary.

sensors facing down

Avoid deploying the instrument vertically with the sensor facing up! Such orientation will affect performance
of the pressure sensor due to increased build-up of sediment.
