Orienting the sensor

The sensor operates in any orientation. The optimal orientation depends on the process fluid

and the process conditions. Siemens recommends orienting the sensor in one of the following

ways:

1. Vertical installation with an upwards flow (self-draining)

Figure 3-3

2. Horizontal installation, tubes down (recommended for liquid applications)

Figure 3-4

3. Horizontal installation, tubes up (recommended for gas applications)
