3 Mounting the IPS Detect
3.1 Mounting details
The recommended mounting position for the IPS Detect sensor is shown in the document
FLS_IPS Detect the document on
the IPS Detect CD.
The sensor is mounted with a single M8 x 60mm [VA2] screw at the pump.
Flowserve SIHI volute casing pumps with a bearing bracket are generally prepared with
two standard M8 tapped holes. For other pumps, or if no M8 threaded hole available, an
M8 adaptor can be used which is be bonded to the surface with a suitable metal adhesive
glue. This eliminates the need to drill a fixing hole. The M8 adapter is included in delivery.
The metal adhesive should be suitable for condition of use.
Examples for metal adhesive: Pattex Stabilit Express, Henkel
Best-Quick Mix 801, Best Klebstoffe
