Sensor Installation and Connection 3-39

3. Mount the sensor onto the inside of the band with two 4-40 x

5/16-inch

countersink screws, making sure the beveled end of

the sensor faces the upstream edge of the ring. If 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 drill bit.

Note:

The edge of the band with the cable tie holes is the

downstream edge.

4. When applicable, mount the pressure depth sensor to the band

in the following way:

Mount the pressure depth sensor 2 inches to the left of the

Doppler velocity sensor. Make sure the sensor will be
underneath the flow once installed

.

Secure the pressure depth sensor to the band using two 4-

40 x 5/16-inch

countersink screws. If the sensor does not

have screw inserts, use two medium-sized cable ties to

secure the sensor to the ring. Crisscross the cable ties

across the top of the sensor and underneath the band.

5. Secure the sensor cables along the downstream edge of the

band according to the instructions in Securing the Cables to the
Band

on page 3-41.

6. Place the band in the pipe upstream at least 12 inches (same

distance as ultrasonic depth sensor, when present) from the

manhole invert. Position the band on the left side of the pipe so

that the sensors will remain below the flow surface (during

minimum flows) and above the silt level.

7. Orient the band so that one of the pre-drilled anchor bolt holes

is just above the flow surface.

8. Spot drill the pipe wall through the hole, install a ¼-inch x 2 ¼-

inch anchor bolt, and secure the band to the anchor bolt with a

washer and nut.

Note:

Make sure the submerged portion of the band is

flush with the pipe wall. If it is not, remove the band and

conform the band to the pipe.
