6F8A0943 (2) Pipe Orientation The detector may be installed in horizontal, vertical or sloping pipe runs as shown in Figure 4.2. However, except for horizontal installation, fluid should flow from lower to upper directions. If no air bubble, Vertical down flow application are acceptable under pressured piping conditions.
Page 22
6F8A0943 (3) Flow Direction Install the detector in accordance with the flow direction arrow on the detector. (4) Full Pipe Condition Design an upright pipe run (Figure 4.5) or enough water head (Fig. 4.6) at the downstream detector outlet if there is a possibility of the detector pipe being emptied.
DON’T DON’T (1) Grounding of the LF664/LF620F type Ground as shown in Figure 4.11. Make the grounding wire as short as possible. Use grounding wire material of IV wire 5.5mm or more. Do not share a grounding wire with other instruments where grounding current may flow.
