Mounting
• Mount the transducer so that it is above the maximum material level by more than
the blanking value for accurate results. Refer to the associated transceiver manual
for information on setting the blanking value.
• The transducer must be mounted so that the axis of transmission is perpendicular to
the liquid's surface.
• Do not over tighten mounting. Hand tightening of the mounting hardware is
sufficient.
• Consider the optional temperature sensor when mounting the transducer.
