Sensor Installation and Connection

position the sensor at the bottom center of the pipe. These options
are not possible using the ½-band mount. Therefore, the ¾-band
mount is the preferable method for mounting the sensors.

However, a ½-band mount may be appropriate for monitoring under
the following circumstances:

Large pipes with deep minimum flows

Large pipes with excessive silt present

PEAK COMBO SENSOR

PEAK COMBO SENSOR

½- (left) and ¾-band (right) mounts

Note: When positioning the special mounting metal, ADS
recommends reserving the left side of the pipe for the long
end of the ¾-band (end extending almost completely up
one side of the pipe) and the ¼-band for routing the sensor
cable and accommodating the Silt Mount Adapter (when
necessary
). The Peak Combo Sensor may not be offset
more than 45 degrees (7:30) up the left side of the pipe to
account for silt. The sensor can be offset a maximum of 15
degrees (6:30 position) up the side of the pipe without a
special adapter. However, offsets between 15 and 45
degrees (6:30 and 7:30 positions) up the side of the pipe
require the Silt Mount Adapter (ADS p/n 8000-0271).
