MOUNTING ECHOTOUCH
®
The transmitter should always be mounted perpendicular to the liquid surface. Insure that there are no
restrictions or obstacles in the path of the acoustic signal. For further mounting information, please refer to the
EchoTouch
®
manual at www.flowline.com.
Installation in existing 3” fittings:
Use a LM52-2400 3” thread x 2” thread adapter or a LM52-2410 3”
slip x 3” thread adapter.
Basic Tank Installation
:
Use a 2” bulkhead fitting, such as the LM52-2890 bulkhead fitting.
Use a larger bulkhead fitting, such as the 3” LM52-3890 with a
reducer bushing such as the LM52-2400 (3” to 2”).
Use a flange with a 2” thread, such as the LM52-2850.
Weld a plastic 2” half coupling to the tank top.
Mounting in Riser:
Installations with tall, narrow risers can impede the acoustic signal.
2" diameter risers should be no taller than 4". Larger diameter
risers should be no taller than 12". For best results, follow a 2:1
Height to Inner Diameter ratio (example: 8” Height to 4” Inner
Diameter or 12” Height to 6” Inner Diameter).
Installation in open tanks and sumps:
Use Flowline's LM50-1001 side mount bracket.
Note: The Side Mount Bracket (LM50 series) is not designed
for use with stand pipes or as a method to secure stand pipes.
There are too few threads to properly hold the transmitter and
the stand pipe.
