Mounting the sensors

Make sure that the pipe surface where the sensors are to be mounted is clean and smooth. There
should also be no rust or loose paint on it. Select a suitable section and do not forget to apply the
coupling gel. Apply the coupling gel to the centre of each sensor's front surface and to the pipe
surface. Ensure that there are no air bubbles between the sensors and the pipe wall, then attach
the sensors to the pipe using the pipe clamps provided and tighten them securely.
Note:
The two sensors should be mounted laterally and centrally on horizontal pipes. Make sure that
the mounting direction of the sensors is parallel to the flow. If the sensors cannot be mounted
horizontally symmetrically due to limited local installation conditions, it may be necessary to mount
the sensors at a location where the pipe is always filled with liquid.
6.2.1
Sensor spacing
The distance between the ends of the two sensors can be looked up in M14 (menu 14). After
entering the required parameters, check the data displayed in window M14 and adjust the spacing
between the sensors according to the data.
