Partially filled pipes
For partially filled pipes or pipes with downwards flow and free outlet, sensor must be mounted
in a U-tube.
4.1.2
Orienting the sensor
MAG 8000 CT DN 50 to DN 150 can be installed in all orentations, while DN 200 to DN 400
can only be installed horizontally.
Horizontal pipes
Sensor must be mounted as shown in upper part of figure. Do not mount sensor as shown in
lower part of figure as electrodes then will be positioned at top where air bubbles may occur
and in bottom, where mud, sludge, sand etc. may deposit and cover the electrode, thus
impacting the measurement.
If "Empty Pipe Detection" is used, sensor should be tilted 45° as shown in upper right figure
to maximize full pipe detection and provide accurate volume calculations.
Note
Physical installation of battery pack may influence battery capacity. Optimal battery capacity
is achieved with battery pack in an upright position. Installation examples marked with dotted
cross will affect battery capacity.
