2. Installation
2.1. Sensor Installation
Proper installation is extremely important in order for your flowmeter to work correctly. There are minimum
sensor installation requirements that need to be respected at all Times. Please note that Arkon cannot
warranty any installation which does not comply with these requirements.
Horizontal standard mounting
The sensor tube must always remain full. The best
way to achieve this is to locate the sensor in a low
section pipe, see the following picture.
It is mandatory to install the sensor in a section of
straight pipe with at least 5 times the pipe diameter
before sensor and 3 times after sensor.
Pipe reducers
If the pipe diameter is not the same as the diameter
of sensor, then pipe reducers can be used. So as
not to lose accuracy of the measurement, the slope
of reducers should not exceed 8º.
Vertical mounting
When the sensor is mounted on a vertical section of
pipe, the flow direction must be upwards. In the case
of a downward flow direction, air bubbles can collect
in the sensor and the measurement could be
unstable and inaccurate.
Pumps
Never install the sensor on the suction side of a
pump or on a section of pipe where a vacuum is
possible.
Valves
Suitable location of a shutoff valve is downstream of
a sensor.
