Initial Startup Procedure - Siemens SITRANS FSS200 Installation Manual

Preparing the pipe
Note
Make sure you picked a mounting location with the longest straight run. You must have easy
access to at least one side of your pipe. The pipe at the mounting location must remain full,
even at zero flow.
1. After establishing the sensor location begin to prepare the pipe.
2. Decide on your mounting mode (Direct or Reflect). Always use Reflect mode whenever
possible. You may only need to use Direct mode if your pipe is plastic.
3. After receiving the spacing dimensions from the Installation Menu, prepare the pipe
surface. De-grease the surface, if necessary, and remove any grit, corrosion, rust, loose
paint, etc. Use abrasive material provided to provide a clean contact surface for the
sensors.
Note
Please note that the instructions show horizontal mounting for clarity purposes only. Do
not install sensors on the top of a pipe.
