Sensor installation

6.1

Selection of the measuring location

The installation of the PCE-TDS 75 is very simple. You only need a suitable measuring location,
then attach the sensors to the pipe and start the measurement. The following must be observed
when selecting a suitable installation location:
Select a pipe section that is always filled with liquid, e. g. a vertical pipe with flow
upwards or a full horizontal pipe.
Ensure a sufficiently straight pipe length for the installation of the upstream and
downstream sensors.
In the case of a horizontal pipe, the sensors should be mounted on the side to prevent
air bubbles at the top or deposits at the bottom from falsifying the measurement result.
Make sure that the temperature of the measuring location is below the temperature
limits of the sensors.
The inside of the pipe should also be in good condition. If possible, choose a section of
pipe where the interior is free from corrosion.
The section must be sound-conducting.
