Orientation

For liquid applications, use horizontal mounting.
In low flow applications, mount, vertically so air bubbles are easier to remove.
To avoid separation of air from the liquid, we recommend a back pressure of minimum 0.1 – 0.2 bar.

Mounting

Mount the sensor on a wall or a steel frame vibration-free and mechanically stable. Mount the
sensor directly or by using the supplied mounting bracket.
Ensure that the mounting surface is plane and gives good support.
The supplied M8 screws must be used for the mounting bracket. Please note the short screws
(M8 x 20 mm) are for the sensor chassis, and the long screws (M8 x 80 mm) are for mounting
the bracket on the frame or the wall. Mount the bracket on a plane surface and tighten the screws
properly (max. 12 Nm).
