Mounting
Dos and Don’ts
Special handling precautions must be taken to protect the face of the transducer from
any damage.
Mount the transducer so that it is above the maximum material level by at least the
blanking value. Refer to the associated transceiver manual.
On liquid applications, the transducer must be mounted so that the axis of transmission is
perpendicular to the liquid surface.
On solids applications, a Milltronics Easy Aimer should be used to facilitate aiming of the
transducer.
Do not overtighten mounting. Hand tightening of the mounting hardware is sufficient for
most applications.
Secure installation by connecting a safety chain from the transducer to a structural
member.
Consider the optional temperature sensor when mounting the transducer.
Mounting - Solids Applications
Note: For pressure tight applications, install transducers hand tight plus ½ turn
to 1½ turns. Teflon®

tape or other appropriate sealant may be used to aid in
sealing the threads for use in pressure applications.
