Do not install the CHA in direct sunlight
Ensure there is no entrained air in the line or excessive levels
of organic compounds such as rouge.
CHA should be installed after a minimum of 4 pipe diameters
of straight run to reduce flow turbulence. Fig. 3-1
The CHA should be installed on a vertical line. If the unit
must be intalled on a horizontal line, it should be at 3 or 9
o'clock position. Fig. 3-2
The KAM CHA probe must be oriented so that the flow
indicator is parallel to the flow direction of the pipe to
enable flow through the measurement window. Fig. 3-3
