Sensor Installation<br />

Prosonic sensors are provided with 1”<br />

NPT fittings for mounting flexibility. The<br />

FDU 80/81F sensors may also be<br />

installed with a slip-on flange.<br />

For optimum performance, the sensor<br />

should be installed so that its lower edge<br />

is below the top of the tank or silo. This<br />

can be done if the maximum level does<br />

not enter into the blocking distance (blind<br />

space) of the sensor. See illustration<br />

below.<br />

Flange mounting<br />

Pipe well mounting is used when the<br />

material high level is high enough that<br />

the sensor must be moved to allow for<br />

the blocking distance.<br />

Sensor positioner mounting, below,<br />

depicts how the sensor can be installed<br />

in the best position with respect to the<br />

measured material. A sensor positioner<br />

can be used to install a sensor in a tank<br />

that has an opening smaller than the<br />

sensor’s diameter.<br />
