4. Side Mount Bracket:
For installations in open tanks and sumps, use the LM50 series side mount bracket.
a. For the DL14 & DL14 series, order the LM50-1001-1, which includes a 2”x 1”
Reducer Bushing.
b. For the DL34 series, order the LM50-1001 side mount bracket.
5. Stand Pipe:
A standpipe maybe used to dampen turbulence or when foam is present in the application.
a. Pipe can be made of any material.
b. Select a minimum 3” ID pipe for the stand pipe.
i. A 2” pipe is usable with the DL14 and DL24 series, but is the minimum.
ii. Pipes larger than 3” can also be used.
c. Use a coupling and reducer bushing to attach the EchoPod to the pipe.
i. With the DL14 & DL24 series, be sure to use a plastic reducing bushing such as
LM52-1400 2” T x 1” T fitting or the LM52-1410 2” S x 1” T fitting.
d. The pipe length should run the measurement span and the bottom of the pipe should
remain submerged at all times to prevent foam from entering the pipe.
e. Cut a 45°notch at the bottom of the pipe and drill a 1/4”pressure equalization hole in
the dead band.
f. The pumps should not drive liquid past the open
end of the stand pipe which causes the liquid in
the pipe to oscillate.
