Installation
Thread the wave guide accessory onto the sensor’s 18 mm barrel until snug (sensor face
is in contact with gasket). Continue to tighten wave guide until the bevel faces downward
(to prevent the collection of debris inside the opening). For high-vibration applications,
application of a small amount of thread-locking material is recommended.
Also included with the accessory is a slender threaded plastic nut. For sensors that will
be barrel-mounted, use this nut for mounting the sensor, then mount the wave guide as
described above.
