Orienting the Sensor

Step 2 Orienting the Sensor

The sensor will function properly in any orientation if the sensor tubes remain filled with process fluid. Micro Motion recommends orienting F-Series sensors as shown in Figure 8.

Flow

Self-draining applications

The F-Series sensor is self-draining when it is installed in a vertical pipeline (see Figure 8). For CIP applications it is recommended to use the generally accepted flow velocity of at least 1.5 m/sec for cleaning the sensor.

Flow direction arrow

The sensor has a flow direction arrow (see Figures 1–5) to help you configure the transmitter for flow direction. If possible, install the sensor so that the flow direction arrow matches actual process flow.

Vertical pipeline

If the sensor is installed in a vertical pipeline, liquids and slurries should flow upward through the sensor. Gases may flow upward or downward.
