4.1 Installation safety precautions
WARNING
High pressure hazard
In applications with working pressures/media that can be dangerous to people,
surroundings, equipment or others in case of pipe fracture, we recommend that special
precautions such as special placement, shielding or installation of a pressure guard or a
safety valve are taken when the sensor is mounted.
4.2 Determining a location
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
May cause death or serious personal injury.
Disconnect power before working on this product.
Upstream / Downstream
● Avoid long drop lines downstream from the sensor to prevent the meter pipe from
draining.
● Avoid installing the sensor upstream of a free discharge in a drop line where possible.
Sensor Location in piping system
The optimum location in the system depends on the application
● For liquid applications the presence of excessive gas or air bubbles in the fluid may result
in erroneous measurements. Therefore, it is preferred not to install the sensor at the
highest point in the system, where gas / air bubbles will be trapped. For liquids it is
advantageous to install the sensor in low pipeline sections, at the bottom of a U-section in
the pipeline.
