Installation and Operational Considerations
 Install the sensor away from any bends in the pipe and hydraulic
fittings (disturbances). For the best results, install the sensor of the
PrimeProbe2 at a location with at least 25 times the pipe diameter
in distance of straight unrestricted pipe upstream of the sensor and
10 times the pipe diameter in distance of straight unrestricted pipe
downstream of the sensor.
 Operate the PrimeProbe2 only in full pipes. The converter
performs flow calculations based on full pipe.
 Before opening the valve to insert the PrimeProbe2, make sure the
safety mechanism is engaged. Some pipes are under considerable
pressure. Failure to lock-down the probe could allow pressure to
force the sensor upward like a projectile, potentially causing injury
to the installer.
 Although it is not always necessary to install the sensor at the 12
o
’clock position on the pipe, it is always necessary to install the
probe at a 90
° angle to the length of the pipe.
 The PrimeProbe2, configured with a remote converter, can receive
power from an AC mains supply. When using AC power, terminal
connections with the mains supply should be made only by
qualified technicians familiar with all current procedures and local
codes. Connection to mains power should always occur through a
RCD (residual current device) and should be the last step in the
installation process.
