The long side of the sensor must be parallel with the longitudinal
axis of the channel.

Sites where a large amount of aeration or turbulence will be
present often require the use of a secondary pressure transducer.
In these cases, the mounting of the secondary sensor, including
elevation and orientation, must also be considered.
Be careful to route the cable away from the side of the sensor
where it is attached. Improper cable routing increases the possi-
bility of debris fouling.

During installation, ensure that the cable connector end is sealed
for protection in case it comes into contact with water.
If a mounting apparatus (such as a ring or rectangular frame) is
used, cables should be fastened to its downstream side. All per-
manent installations require the cables to be secured to the
channel wall and mounting apparatus with rubber-cushioned
stainless steel loop straps at 6" (nominal) intervals.
