2. After receiving the spacing number index from the transmitter, make a note of the number
displayed.
3. Referring to the transmitter Operating Instructions manual, confirm that the appropriate
sensor settings have been selected for operation on the chosen pipe.
4. Select the mounting location on the pipe.
5. Choose a pipe location that remains full at zero flow.
6. Where possible, locate enclosure housing 10 pipe diameters or more from elbow or valve
to ensure fully developed and stable flow profile.
7. On horizontal pipe sections, select a horizontal plane to avoid sediment or gas blockage
of ultrasonic signal path.
