Orientation

The WCX Series sensor may be mounted in any vertical, horizontal or angled orientation. The main
consideration is to facilitate coupling of the valve or other device to the input shaft of the sensor.
For best signal, it is generally recommended that the antenna be oriented vertically (see section 4).
A higher elevation may give better signal range than a lower elevation, depending on obstacles.

Attach bracket to pipe

Figure 4 shows some commonly used customer-provided bracket and pipe orientations. Not all
possibilities are shown; any bracket (flat or angle) and orientation (parallel or transverse) may be used to
get the desired input shaft positioning with respect to the valve being monitored.
When considering brackets with flanged sides (as in illustration), insure that the whole portion of the
exposed input shaft extends past the flanges to provide sufficient clearance from the connecting linkage to
be used.
Position bracket on 2-inch (50.8 mm) pipe and install "U" bolt around pipe and through holes in bracket.
