Installation Proline Promass 83 PROFIBUS DP/PA

3.2.3 Orientation
Make sure that the direction of the arrow on the nameplate of the sensor matches the direction of
flow (direction in which the fluid flows through the pipe).
Orientation Promass A
Vertical:
Recommended orientation with upward direction of flow. When fluid is not flowing, entrained
solids will sink down and gases will rise away from the measuring tube. The measuring tubes can
be completely drained and protected against solids build-up.
Horizontal:
When installation is correct the transmitter housing is above or below the pipe. This arrangement
means that no gas or solid deposits can accumulate in the curved measuring tube (single-tube
system).
Do not install the sensor in such a way that it is suspended in the pipe, in other words without
support or attachment. This is to avoid excessive strain at the process connection. The base plate of
the sensor housing is designed for mounting on a tabletop, wall or post.
