2. Use two 4-40 x 5/16-inch

stainless steel screws (do not

substitute any other screws) to mount the pressure depth sensor
on the bottom inside of the ring with the pointed end of the
sensor facing upstream. Mount the pressure depth sensor
slightly to the left of bottom center when excessive silt is
present.

3. Secure the sensor cable to the ring. Refer to the next section,

Securing the Cable to the Ring, for instructions on properly
securing the cable.

Securing the Cable to the Ring

Securing the pressure depth sensor cable to the ring helps prevent
debris from collecting between the cable and the ring or catching on
the loose cable. It also prevents the loose cable from disrupting the
flow.

Secure the sensor cable in the following way:

1. Starting at the sensor location, begin securing the cable with 4-

inch x 0.08-inch cable ties through the pre-drilled holes along
the downstream trailing edge of the ring up the side of the ring.
Run the cable up the side of the ring opposite the spreader
mechanism (the left side of the ring when facing the
downstream edge of the ring).
