Hydro-Probe Installation

2 Positioning the Sensor

The optimum location for the sensor varies depending on the type of installation – a number of
options are detailed on the following pages. Several different mounting assemblies can be used
to fix the sensor as shown on page 18.
Bin/Silo/Hopper Mounting
2.1
The sensor may be mounted in the neck or the wall of the bin so the ceramic faceplate is in
the centre of the flow, as shown below.
Neck Mounting
2.2
The sensor should be located on the opposite side to the door-opening and centred within the
neck. If it is fitted on the same side as the ram, it should be angled towards the centre.
Positioning the sensor under the bin will also help where space is limited.
