Sensor set selection and arrangement
If mounting horizontally, always mount the sensor set so that it is offset at an angle of ±30° to
the top of the measuring pipe to avoid incorrect measurements caused by gas pockets or
bubbles at the top of the pipe.
The sensors can be arranged in different ways:
• Mounting arrangement for measurement with 1 sensor set (1 measuring path):
• The sensors are located on opposite sides of the measuring pipe (offset at 180° ): measurement
with 1 or 3 traverses.
• The sensors are located on the same side of the measuring pipe: measurement with 2 or 4
traverses
• Mounting for measurement with 2 sensor sets
1)
(2 measuring paths):
• 1 sensor of each sensor set is located at the opposite side of the measuring pipe (offset by 180°):
measurement with 1 or 3 traverses
• The sensors are located on the same side of the measuring pipe: measurement with 2 or 4
traverses
The sensor sets are arranged on the measuring pipe, offset by 90°.
Using 5 MHz sensors
Here, the rails of the two sensor sets are always arranged at an angle of 180° to one another for
all measurements with 1, 2, 3 or 4 traverses. The sensor functions are assigned in the two rails
via the transmitter electronics unit depending on the selected number of traverses. It is not
necessary to swap the cables in the transmitter between the channels.
Use of high-temperature sensors
The measuring paths for a high-temperature measurement are preferably mounted with 1
traverse on the pipe. If 2 measuring paths are being used, the individual paths are arranged so
they are offset by 180° from each other (X-arrangement).

1) Do not swap the sensors of the two sensor sets, as this can affect the measurement performance.
