Deployment 9.1 Deploy the sensor 1. Start by considering the environment of operation: always operate wearing appropriate safety equipment in safe operating conditions. 2. The sensor is normally installed with the optics pointing downwards (but not vertical) or in a horizontal alignment. - Page 29 3. In a simple application the sensor is simply immersed into the water to the desired depth, but within the depth rating of the sensor. Please note the depth rating is based on stagnant water. 4. Allowances must be made for the effect of flowing water to ensure the stagnant depth rating is not exceeded.
