Quick Installation and Start-Up
2.8 Sensor location
The sensor should be installed in a location that ensures it remains full during operation. Vertical
installation with upward process fluid flow keeps the cross-sectional area full, regardless of flow
rate. Horizontal installation should be restricted to low piping sections that are normally full.
Figure 2-5. Sensor Orientation
2.8.1 Electrode orientation
The electrodes in the sensor are properly oriented when the two measurement electrodes are in
the 3 and 9 o’clock positions or within 45 degrees from the horizontal, as shown on the left in
Figure 2-6. Avoid any mounting orientation that positions the top of the sensor at 90 degrees
from the vertical position as shown on the right in Figure 2-6.
Figure 2-6. Mounting Position
For hazardous location installations, consult Appendix C for Installation Drawings 08732-2060
and 08732-2062 for sensor orientation pertaining to specific T-code compliance.
