INSTALLATION AND MODE OF OPERATION
Installation can be horizontal as well as vertical (fig. 5). However, make sure that the axes
of the electrodes run in a horizontal direction (direction arrow indicates the electrode
axes) to avoid incorrect measurements due to deposits or air bubbles on the electrodes.
Fig. 5 Installation in horizontal and vertical pipelines
Where there is a free pipe outlet, the sensor should not be installed in a section of pipe
that can run empty (e.g. downpipes, Fig. 6). For installations in a downpipe, ensure that the
pipeline is always 100% filled with the medium (Fig. 7).
Fig. 6 Installation in rising and falling pipes
The sensor must be installed so that the measuring tube can not run empty and is always
filled with the medium. If the pipeline is not full or if there is only a free-flow line (drain), the
sensor must be installed in a culvert. (Fig. 7)
