Wheel Flow Sensor Installation

Installation & Precautions
A sensor and a mounting bracket

Proper installation of a wheel flow sensor is crucial for achieving reliable and accurate flow measurements in fluid systems. Improper installation can lead to significant errors in data collection, impacting the overall efficiency and safety of the system. It is essential to follow guidelines regarding sensor location, orientation, and environmental considerations to prevent interference such as flow blockage and air entrapment. Ensuring that the sensor is installed correctly can maximize equipment performance, reduce maintenance requirements, and extend the sensor's operating life, thereby safeguarding the integrity and reliability of the measurement system.

Precautions before Installation

Before installing the flow sensor into the mounting bracket, the front part needs to be immersed in water. Install it in place with the help of the lubrication of water to avoid damaging the "O" ring caused by dry friction, affecting the sealing performance. At the same time, pay special attention to ensure that the two plugs of the sensor are aligned with the grooves of the mounting bracket.
