Meter Location
• Do not install the detector on the suction side of pumps. This could damage the liner (in particular PTFE liners).
• Verify that the pipeline is always filled on the measuring point. If not a correct or accurate measurement is not possible.
• Do not install the detector on the highest point of a pipeline system. Gas accumulation may follow.
• Do not install the detector in downcomer pipes with free outlet.
• Do not install the meter on pipes with extreme pipe vibrations. If pipes are vibrating, secure the piping with
appropriate pipe supports in front of and behind the meter. If vibrations cannot be restrained, mount the amplifier in a
remotelocation.
• Do not install the detector close to pipeline valves, fittings or impediments that can cause flow disturbances.
• Do not install the detector on outlet sides of piston or diaphragm pumps. Pulsating flow can affect meter performance.
• Avoid installing the detector near equipment that produces electrical interference such as electric motors, transformers,
variable frequency and power cables.
• Verify that both ends of the signal cables are securely fastened.
• Place power cables and signal cables in separate conduits.
• Place the meter where there is enough access for installation and maintenance tasks.

Remote Amplier Outdoor Location
The amplifier can be installed and operated outdoors. However, it must be protected from the elements as follows:
• The ambient environment/temperature rating for the unit is –4…140° F (–20…60° C).
• If an indoor location is within 150 feet (50 meters) of the detector, consider increasing the cable length and mounting the
amplifier indoors.
• At minimum, create a roof or shield over and/or around the amplifier to protect the LCD display screen from
directsunlight.
• See “Remote Mount Configuration” on page14.
