CAUTION
Accurate measurement
The sensor must always be completely filled with process media in order to measure accurately.
Orienting the sensor
The sensor operates in any orientation. The optimal orientation depends on the process fluid and the process conditions.
Siemens recommends orienting the sensor in one of the following ways:
1. Vertical installation with an upwards flow (self-draining)
Figure 3-3
Vertical orientation, upwards flow
2. Horizontal installation, tubes down (recommended for liquid applications)

3. Horizontal installation, tubes up (recommended for gas applications)
