Proper positioning of the LaserFlow sensor is critical for optimal
velocity measurement. In center position, the laser beam must
strike the flow stream precisely in the center.
The beam automatically moves to the top center position.
Select Laser On and press Enter. This will keep the laser beam
on continuously for 10 minutes or until Laser Off is selected,
allowing the beam to be used for fine-tuning the sensor's
position.
Note
When sensor positioning is completed, securely tighten all
mounting hardware.
Once the LaserFlow sensor is installed over the flow stream,
some installations may only require the center laser position for
velocity measurement.
For installations requiring multiple measurement points, the
next step is to determine which points will be used. To do so,
activate all 15 points and wait for all of them to display their
readings. This process may take up to 15 minutes.
Each point will display a velocity reading and time stamp, or
"Invalid." Deselect "Invalid" and undesired points. The fewer
points selected, the less time required to complete one velocity
measurement.
