Orienting the sensor
Flow direction
The calibrated flow direction is indicated by the arrow on the sensor. Flow in this direction will be indicated as positive (a
forward/reverse flow calibration is available as an option).
CAUTION
The sensor must always be completely filled with gas in order to measure accurately.
Orienting the sensor
SITRANS FCS200 operates in any orientation, but Siemens recommends orienting the sensor in one of the following ways:
1. Vertical orientation with an upwards flow
Figure 1 Vertical orientation, upwards flow
2. Horizontal installation, tubes sideways
Figure 2 Horizontal mounting, tubes sideways
3. Horizontal installation, tubes up
Figure 3 Horizontal orientation; tubes up

Mounting the sensor

● Install two pipe hangers with rubber inserts symmetrically and stress free on the enclosure ends as shown below.
Sensor end dimensions are described in the Dimensions chapter of the Operating Instructions.
● Mount the pipe hangers on a solid, vibration free foundation or frame
● Center the connecting pipelines axially in order to assure a stress-free installation.
