3.2.1 Recommended mounting position for liquids
When finding an appropriate mounting position for the transmitter, the conditions of the
tank must be carefully considered. The transmitter should be mounted so that the
influence of disturbing objects is reduced to a minimum. For easy access to the transmitter
make sure that it is mounted with sufficient service space.

A. Inlet pipe
B. Agitator
C. Heating coils
The following guidelines should be considered when mounting the transmitter:
• Do not mount close to inlet pipes.
• Do not mount close to agitators. If the probe can move to within 12 in. (30 cm) away
from an agitator, the probe should be anchored.
• If the probe tends to sway due to turbulent conditions in the tank, the probe should be
anchored.
• Avoid mounting close to heating coils.
• Position the probe such that it is subject to a minimum of lateral force.
• The probe should not come into contact with the nozzle or other objects in the tank.
Note
Violent fluid movements causing high sideway forces may break rigid probes.
