addition, make sure the connector-end of the sensor is not

attached dryer tube filled with active blue desiccant.

cable ties.

Installing the Ring in the Pipe

The ring must fit securely in the pipe with the sensors properly

positioned to ensure the most accurate monitoring results. Install the

ring in the pipe in the following way:
1. Examine the pipe for possible obstructions to the flow or issues

that may inhibit proper ring installation.

2. Adjust the ring size to slightly less than the pipe diameter

before placing the ring in the pipe by turning the spreader

mechanism adjustment nut clockwise.

3. Place the ring in the input pipe at least 12 inches upstream from

the manhole or edge of the pipe with the sensors facing

upstream toward the oncoming flow. It must be located far

enough upstream from the manhole to minimize the effect of

the draw-down caused by a possible drop in the manhole invert.
