Orientation

The WCX Series sensor may be mounted in any vertical, horizontal or angled orientation. The main consideration is
to facilitate coupling of the valve or other device to the input shaft of the sensor.
For best signal, it is generally recommended that the antenna be oriented vertically (see Section 4).
A higher elevation may give better signal range than a lower elevation, depending on obstacles.

Attach sensor to valve

Figure 5 shows an "L" shaped mounting bracket specifically fabricated to allow mounting of the sensor above a
valve. Connection of the sensor shaft to valve shaft is done via a "U" shaped bracket, permitting easy manual
activation of the valve.
