Installation Procedure

1. Determine the appropriate Z-value for the selected insertion depth,

and then secure the reference ring at that value.

Available Insertion Depths

Insertion “Z-value”

1/8D L - (X + S + 1/8D + 110)

1/2D L - (X + S + 1/2D + 110)

7/8D L - (X + S + 7/8D + 110)

S = pipe thickness

D = internal diameter of pipe

X = distance between (outside) top of pipe and top edge of ball valve

Z = distance between top edge of reference ring and bottom edge of

converter box

L = see following table

Insertion Length L

11.81 inches (300 mm) 25.59 inches (650 mm)

19.69 inches (500 mm) 33.46 inches (850 mm)

27.56 inches (700 mm) 41.34 inches (1050 mm)

39.37 inches (1000 mm) 53.15 inches (1350 mm)

Caution: Before continuing, make sure the anti-bounce chain is

attached and secure.

2. With PrimeProbe2 fully retracted, screw the 1-inch sensor sleeve

into the pipe.

3. Make sure the chain is at full extent.

4. Slowly open the ball valve. Make sure the valve is 100% open.

5. Slowly push the sensor through the open valve into the pipe until

the reference ring touches the locking collar.

6. Verify that the push handles of the PrimeProbe2 are in alignment

with the pipe axis (±2 degrees).

7. Tighten the two side screws.

Grounding the Sensor and the Converter

For accurate results, both the sensor and the flow must be at the same

potential. To achieve this, always connect both the sensor and the

transmitter to ground. Contact ADS concerning pipes with cathodic

protection.
