½-Band Mount
Perform the following procedure to mount a Peak Combo Sensor in
a pipe using the ½-band mount:
1. Use a hacksaw to cut the band to the appropriate length. Cut the
band so that, once installed, it will run almost completely down
the left side of the pipe.
2. Determine the best location on the band to mount the sensor.
Intend on installing the band on the left side of the incoming
pipe (upstream from the manhaole) to accommodate the sensor
cable and a silt mount adapter (when applicable). The sensor
should mount as close as possible to the bottom (end) of the
band, making sure the sensor will be both above the silt level
and below the flow surface once installed. It also must not be
more than 45 degrees from the bottom center of the pipe.
Note: Mounting the Peak Combo Sensor between 15 and
45 degrees up the side of the pipe (between the 6:30 and
7:30 positions) requires a special silt mount adapter.
3. (applies only when mounting the sensor no more than 15
degrees up the side of the pipe) Mount the sensor onto the
inside of the band with two M3 x 10-mm countersink screws,
making sure the blunt end (i.e., nose) of the sensor is facing the
upstream edge of the ring (edge opposite the cable tie holes).
If mounting holes do not exist on the band at or near the
desired mounting location for the sensor, drill holes in the band
using a 7/32-inch (3-mm) drill bit.
4. (applies only when mounting the sensor between 15 and 45
degrees up the side of the pipe) Use the silt mount adapter
(ADS p/n 8000-0271) to attach the sensor to the band in the
following way:
 Seat the Peak Combo Sensor onto the slightly elevated
portion of the top of the silt mount adapter. The elevated
portion of the adapter should insert easily into the inset
portion of the bottom of the sensor. Orient the sensor so
that the sensor cable is exiting the sharp, or wedged, side
of the adapter.
