General installation instructions
For optimal monitoring, mount the sensor such that the probe rod is fully immersed in
the medium.
If the medium flows in a horizontal direction and may contain deposits or trapped gas
(e.g. air bubbles): Mount the sensor e.g. laterally.
Fig. 7: Lateral mounting
If the medium flows in a horizontal direction and the flow channel is not completely filled
with the medium: Mount the sensor e.g. below the flow.
Fig. 8: Mounting below the flow
If the medium flows in a vertical direction: Mount the sensor only in risers.
A minimum distance from potential interference variables (pumps, valves, flow rectifiers,
pipe bends, changes in the cross section) must be maintained.

Prevent the tip of the probe rod coming into contact with the opposite side of the flow
channel inner wall.
