How do I mount a Consibio Logger with a radar in a sewer for level and flow monitoring? – Consibio Customer Portal

Required equipment:

Consibio Logger in Rugged Case
Vegapuls C21 radar sensor
Crossbeam
Cable hanger

Overview

1. Open crossbeam

2. Slide the cable hanger onto the crossbeam

3. Mount Logger

4. Adjust crossbeam

5. Position cable hanger in center

6. Measure sensor cable length and insert in hanger

7. Lock sensor cable

Step-by-step

1. Open crossbeam

Open up the crossbeam by unscrewing the wingnut:

2. Slide the cable hanger onto the crossbeam

3. Mount Logger

Slide the Consibio Logger in a rugged case onto the crossbeam:

4. Assemble and adjust crossbeam

Adjust the width of the crossbeam to the width of the manhole and fasten the wingnut. The crossbeam should be as wide as possible to ensure that it will not fall off and into the manhole.

5. Position cable hanger in center

Position the cable hanger in the center and fasten with a cable tie:

6. Measure sensor cable length and insert in hanger

Generally, the closer the sensor is to the water surface (but not closer than 20cm (8")), the more precise the readings are. The sensor endures being flooded, but while submerged it cannot generate valid readings.

Therefore we recommend installation the sensor approx. 1m (3ft.) above the highest expected water level in the manhole.

Measure the cable length with a tape measure and mark the cable with a colored cable tie, tape or similar (normally this distance is several meters / tens of feet) at the desired installation length:

Install the cable in the cable hanger at the mark. The cable hanger has two "sliders" which will grip the cable and hold it in place when pushed down:
