  • Page 17: Installation Condition

    3.3 Installation Condition 3.3.1 Sensors 3.3.1.1 Selection Of Sensor Position The first step before installation should be finding a suitable position to place the sensors. This is a requirement for accurate measurement results. Some basic knowledge about the pipes / the plumbing system is necessary. The ideal location would be an infinitely long, straight pipe, whereas there must be no entrapped air (air bubbles) in the liquid.
  • Page 18: Sensor Installation

    The following should be considered when looking for a good measuring position: 1. Install the sensors on a preferably long, straight pipe filled with the liquid and does not contain any air bubbles. 2. Make sure that the liquid and thus the pipe is not too hot for the sensors. The temperature should be as similar to the room temperature as possible.
  • Page 19: Spacing Between The Sensors

    3.3.1.3 Spacing Between the Sensors The distance between the upstream and the downstream sensor can be seen in window M25. The window states the inner distance between the two sensors, which you should stick to as accurately as possible. The information in M25, however, must only be considered a coarse adjustment.
