Direct Mount - Installation with EZ Clamp and Spacing Guide
The combination of EZ Clamp and spacer guide is the recommended way to mount Direct
Mode sensors. This method ensures that sensors will align exactly 180° from each other and
remain spaced the proper distance apart.
For Direct Mode mounting, a spacer bar is used to establish the distance between sensors
and a spacing guide is used to locate the sensors at the nine o'clock and three o'clock
positions. Should the distance between sensors be beyond the span of a spacer bar, a
measuring tape can be used. The Mylar spacing guide comes in various lengths and widths
to accommodate most pipe sizes.
