Rain Boot Installation
A sensor cover rain boot will be installed on the upward facing end of
sensor covers when the sensor head is installed in vertical
applications. The rain boot serves as a secondary seal against water
leakage under the cover (the sensor cover seal is the primary seal).
Note:
The stainless steel covers do not need a rain boot.
Wrap the elastomeric rain boot around the sensor cover and pipe.
Temporarily secure the rain boot with the adhesive patches provided
on the rain boot. Install one of the two band clamps around the rain
boot section that covers the sensor cover. Install the second band
clamp on the portion of the rain boot that contacts the process pipe.
Secure both bands. Inspect to make sure there is a good seal
between the rain boot and the pipe.
