Mounting position on pumps
1. The sensor must be located on the pump housing
above the drive-end bearing of the pump, closest to
the motor coupling.
2. For best Bluetooth® communication, mount the
sensor with a clear line of sight to any communication
devices to be used: your smartphone or a Bluetooth®

3. The mounting orientation must be such that the
A-axis on the sensor housing is parallel to the rota-
