Strapping to pipe
Strap the sensor directly to the pipe using
the cable tie provided. Place insulation
around the sensor to reduce the effect of
air currents on the sensor measurement.
Immersion well
If mounting a sensor onto 1" (25mm)
diameter, Type L copper pipe, there is
approximately an 8-second delay between
a sudden change in water temperature
and the time the sensor measures the
temperature change. This delay increases
considerably when using mild steel
(black iron) pipe. Uponor recommends
using a temperature well for steel pipe
of diameter greater than 1¼" (32mm).
Uponor also recommends temperature
wells when using large-diameter pipes
and uid stratication is present.

Mounting the slab sensor
Note: The Slab Sensor for Aerial Snow
Sensor (A3040073) can mount on a pipe
or in a temperature immersion well.
Place the sensor downstream of a pump
or after an elbow or similar tting. This is
especially important if the system uses
large-diameter pipes, as the thermal
stratication within the pipes can result in
erroneous sensor readings. Proper sensor
location requires the uid is thoroughly
mixed within the pipe before it reaches
the sensor.
