Reference Manual IP2013, Rev BA February 2012 Mobrey MSP422 BEFORE YOU INSTALL The MSP422 is used for level measurement. The transmitter must be installed in a location where it is protected from ultraviolet radiation to prevent long term degradation of the plastics used e.g. shrouded from direct sunlight. It is important to correctly position the transmitter for reliable ultrasonic level measurement. For maximum accuracy and stability of the level measurement reading, the transmitter should

Reference Manual IP2013, Rev BA February 2012 Mobrey MSP422 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Mounting Guidelines: Considerations a) The transmitter should be mounted above the liquid surface using the 2-inch thread provided, but not closer than 12 in. (0,3 m) to the surface. The transmitter does not detect any liquid surface closer than 12 in. (0,3 m) to the transmitter face. (See "Mounting the Transmitter Above the Liquid Surface" on page 3-5). Optional flanges and bracket kits are available to he
