…5 Installation
…Installation requirements
Pipeline support
The sensor must be installed without mechanical tension
(torsion, bending). If necessary, support the pipeline.
Supports

Extremes of temperature
Do not install the sensor in a position that will expose it
to extremes of temperature (direct sunlight, frost, snow).
Provide appropriate weather protection where necessary.
Figure 14 Extremes of temperature / adverse environments
Seal materials / fluid temperatures
The flange seal material must be compatible with the fluid
and fluid temperatures.

Pipeline forces / torque
The pipeline must not exert any forces and torques on the
sensor (for example, vibration).

Spillage onto the sensor
Do not install the sensor in an area where a spillage of any
substance could damage the sensor.
