9.2.3 Adaptation factor
When installed in confined spaces, the sensor
may be influenced through the pipe wall,
resulting in inaccurate measurements.
This can be compensated for by entering an
adaptation factor.

Remark: The adaptation factor for the CLS 52 sensor is for pipes ≥ DN 65 = 1
(all sensor versions)
Set an adaptation factor of 0.990 for DN 40 pipes
With CLS 50 a minimum pipe diameter of DN 80 is necessary, if the pipe
diameter is less than DN 110 the adaption factor must be fitted
