Selecting the installation location
Important note: Refer to the sensor user manual when installing the mounting hardware.
Note all safety instructions and hazards.
Note: When selecting the installation location, always ensure there is safe access to all parts of the
system and that the sensor can never hit the tank wall.
During the selection of the installation location, pay attentio n to:
•The load bearing capacity and strength of the ground or railings (leverage due to flow
and installation)
•The maximum cable and tubing lengths
•The flow conditions
•The space required to remove the sensor for cleaning
Note: Refer to the sensor user manual for sensor-specific installation requirements.

Installing the chain bracket on the ground
1. Find a suitable installation location and install the quick-fit anchors.
2. Drill the mounting holes (Figure 3 on page 6).
3. Fit the quick-fit anchors in the ground.
4. Hit the head of the quick-fit anchor with a hammer to sprea d th e qu ick- fit an ch or in
the hole.
5. Install the mounting plate on the quick-fit anchors.
6. Mount the arm and the arm bracket on the mounting plate and secure the arm using
the two bolts from the set of small parts (Figure 4 on page 6).
7. Guide the chain through the mounted arm and secure at the rear.
8. Install the sensor on the immersed pipe.
•Installation without cleaning unit—Guide the sensor cable through the red ucer , the
elbow and the immersed pipe and bolt all pieces together (Figure 5 on page 7).

•Installation with cleaning unit—Guide the sensor cable and the air tubing through
the elbow and the immersed pipe and bolt all pieces together (Figure 6 on
page 8).
9. Guide the sensor cable (or sensor cable and air tub ing ) ou t of the sid e of th e
immersed pipe (Figure 5 on page 7 and Figure 6 on page 8).
•For installation without a cleaning unit, fit the plug from the hardware set above
the sensor cable.
Important note: Ensure the sensor cable (or sensor cable and air tubing) cannot be
rubbed, crushed or cut.
10. Install the screw cap on the immersed pipe.
11. Fit the chain to the screw cap.
12. Guide the sensor cable (or sensor cable and air tubing) through the mounted arm.
Fasten the sensor cable (or sensor cable and air tubing) to the arm (e.g. using cable
ties) or leave it hanging free.
13. Check whether the chain is correctly secured in the arm, pivot the immersed tube over
the edge of the tank and align the arm and chain. Adjust the length of the chain .
a. Adjust the distance to the tank wall using the arm.
b. Set the immersion depth using the length of the chain and set the direction in
which the sensor is installed by turning the chain in the arm.
Note: Ensure the chain is always secured and cannot be pulled out of the arm. Otherwise the
sensor and chain can fall into the tank. It possible, align the sensor such that the flow arrives at
the rear.
14. Tighten all bolts.
15. Connect the sensor to a controller.
