2.1 Installation of
transmitter
Hazardous area
The sensor must always be completely full with
liquid.
Therefore avoid:
•
Installation at the highest point in the pipe
system
•
Installation in vertical pipes with free outlet
For partially filled pipes or pipes with down-
ward flow and free outlet the flowmeter should
be located in a U-tube.
Installation in vertical pipes
Recommended flow direction: upwards. This
minimizes the effect on the measurement of
any gas/air bubbles in the liquid.
