Part 3 – Sensor/Flowcell Mounting
3.1
General
Select a location within the maximum sensor cable length for mounting of the sensor flow cell.
3.2
Constant-Head Flowcell
Chlorine sensors are best used in a constant-head overflow chamber because variations in
sample flow rate and pressure can cause unstable readings. When monitoring low
concentrations (below 0.5 PPM), this method should always be used.
Mechanical installation of the flow cell requires that it be mounted to a wall or other convenient
flat surface. Alternatively, the mounting holes on the plate will accommodate a 2" U-bolt for
mounting the plate to a 2" pipe.
Figure

shows the dimensions and mounting hole locations for the flow cell. Be sure to allow
enough clearance on the left side of the flow cell for insertion and removal of the sensor. About
12 inches clearance is recommended.
