Figure 2-21 Wall Mount: Place the sensor on the carrier

5. Lower the LaserFlow sensor 

onto the mounting bracket 
between the front and rear 
alignment tabs, with the two 
mounting block grooves rest-
ing on the two carrier arms.
The sensor can be installed 
on the carrier facing inward 
or outward, depending on 
installation requirements.
