Sensor orientation
Flow direction
The calibrated flow direction is indicated by the arrow on the sensor. Flow in this direction
will be indicated as positive (a forward/reverse flow calibration is available as an option).
CAUTION
The sensor must always be completely filled with fluid in order to measure accurately.
Installation orientation
The Sitrans F C MC2 operates in all orientations, but the optimal sensor orientation is a
vertical installation with an upward flow. This has the advantage that air and gas bubbles will
move upward out of the meter tube. Additionally, it is easy to drain the meter tube. Deposits
can thereby be avoided.
