Sensor Installation and Connection 5-31
Rotating the AV|Max/Peak Combo sensor no more than 15 degrees up
either side of the pipe or 30 degrees up the left side of the pipe using the Silt
Mount Adaptor
If necessary, temporarily clear away silt to install the ring.
Restore the silt after fully securing the ring (step 7).
Make sure the ring is flat (flush) against the inside surface
of the pipe to avoid obstructing the flow or catching
debris.
Verify that the underwater sensor (with or without silt
adapter) is flush with the pipe surface. Any elevation of
the sensor or significant deterioration or imperfection in
the pipe surface around the sensor can create an open
space in which debris can become trapped. An elevated
sensor also can misdirect the signal when taking
measurements. These vulnerabilities can quickly result in
potential damage or disruption to the sensor and/or
erroneous data.
