Alignment of the device to the flow direction using a laser
1
Mark the pipe center one meter before and after probe version F1F-P, e.g. with chalk or
a felt pen, see → Fig. 38.
2
Place a laser on the side of the electronics housing and let the laser beam hit the pipe at
the level of the end of the first marking.
3
Measure the distance between the point of impact of the laser and the marking on the
pipeline.
4
Repeat the procedure for the second marking.
5
Align the electronics housing so that distance a corresponds approximately to
distance b.
The maximum permissible difference between value a and value b is 10 mm.
6
After alignment, tighten the self-cutting ring fitting 1.25 turns.
Make sure the markings for the self-cutting ring fitting are next to each other again,
