Mount the source container as close as possible to the vessel. If there
aregaps,securetheareawithasafetyfenceandprotectivegrating
so that no one can reach into the dangerous area.
You can mount the sensor on your vessel with the enclosed mounting
clamps. A number of mounting clamps come with the FIBERTRAC 31
depending on the length of the sensor.
Useamountingclampapprox.every450mm(17.72in).During
mounting,adjustthedistancesbetweentheattachedmountingclips.
Takenoteoftheminimumbendingradiusofthesensor,whichis
