Installation and wiring
Type 8045
- Preferably install the device at a 45° angle to the horizontal centre of
the pipe to avoid having deposits on the electrodes and false meas-
urements due to air bubbles (see Fig. 5).

- Prevent the formation of air bubbles in the pipe in the section
around the device (see Fig. 7).
- Always mount the device upstream a possible injection point
in the pipe of a high-conductivity fluid (for example: acid, base,
saline,...).
