3. Installation
3.1 Overview
MGP261 can be installed either directly into the process (for example, through a flange or ball
valve in the actual process pipeline), or using a flow-through adapter (for example, in a
sampling line installation or when performing a field calibration).
For an overview of installing MGP261 directly in the process, see
Installation Option: Ball Valve
For an overview of the flow-through adapter, see
Installation Option: Flow-Through Adapter
MGP261 uses different internal calculation models depending on the installation type and gas
flow rate. For this reason, the type of the installation must be set correctly in MGP261 settings.
You can view and change the installation type configuration with Vaisala Insight PC software:
for instructions, see
Installation Type Configuration in Insight (page 33)
Always ensure that the installation type configuration is set
correctly in Insight when changing from one installation type to another, so that
the calculation model in use matches the installation environment and
measurement accuracy is not affected.
CAUTION!
3.1.1 Process Flow Range and Installation Type
A process flow range of 2 ... 20 m/s is suitable for the in situ installation calculation model.
When operating the probe in a low flow environment (0 … 2 m/s) or using the flow-through
adapter, use the flow-through calculation model. To set the correct calculation model for the
flow range, choose the installation type in the Vaisala Insight PC software.
