  • Page 25 PULSAR MEASUREMENT SENSOR MOUNTING/LOCATION - Open Channel Flow Applications Each sensor is equipped with a 3/4 inch isolation coupling which MUST be used in your installation. A threaded nipple or length of conduit may be used to position the sensor at the desired height. The sensor should be hand- tightened by turning the sensor stem only.
  • Page 26 OCF 6.1 INSTRUCTION MANUAL TYPICAL SENSOR POSITIONING FOR FLUMES AND WEIRS Always refer to the flume or weir manufacturer’s instructions for correct measurement point upstream from the flume or weir. Location of the sensor is critical for accurate flow measurement. If manufacturer’s instructions are not available, the following guidelines are generally accepted.
