2.2
INSTALLING DETECTORS
Here are some general rules to keep in mind when placing detectors in pipe.
• In a horizontal pipe, never put detectors dead bottom center.
• Do not place a detector dead center on the backside of an elbow.
• Typically the detector lens is protruding in the pipe, but spacers can be added if the
lens needs to be recessed out of the pipe.
• Always install detectors in a straight line around a pipe.
• Make sure the detectors are evenly spaced around a pipe.
See the supplemental section at the end of the document for a complete guide to installing
detectors.
