Installation - Universal Sensor 078
The tekmar Universal Sensors have a brass sleeve for fast response and a wide operating
range. These sensors can be used in a multitude of applications. The 078 is supplied with
15 ft (4572 mm) of two conductor wire.
STEP ONE
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
NOTE: These sensors are designed to mount on a pipe or in a temperature immersion well.
The Universal Sensor can be strapped directly to the
pipe using the cable tie provided. Insulation should
be placed around the sensor to reduce the effect of
air currents on the sensor measurement.
The Universal Sensor should be placed downstream
of a pump or after an elbow or similar fitting. This is
especially important if large diameter pipes are used
as the thermal stratification within the pipe can result
in erroneous sensor readings. Proper sensor location
requires that the fluid is thoroughly mixed within the
pipe before it reaches the sensor.
