Installation conditions

3.2.1 Dimensions
All the dimensions and lengths of the sensor and transmitter are provided in the separate
documentation "Technical Information".
3.2.2 Mounting location
The accumulation of air or gas bubbles in the measuring tube could result in an increase in
measuring errors.
Avoid the following locations:
• At the highest point of a pipeline. Risk of air accumulating.
• Directly upstream from a free pipe outlet in a vertical pipeline.

Installing pumps
Do not install the sensor on the intake side of a pump. This precaution is to avoid low
pressure and the consequent risk of damage to the lining of the measuring tube. Information
on the lining' s resistance to partial vacuum →  113.
It might be necessary to install pulse dampers in systems incorporating reciprocating,
diaphragm or peristaltic pumps. Information on the measuring system' s resistance to
vibration and shock →  109.

Partially filled pipes
Partially filled pipes with gradients necessitate a drain-type configuration. The Empty Pipe
Detection function offers additional protection by detecting empty or partially filled pipes →
