Installation
The Olpas Tentacle is designed to operate fully or partially submerged in water at all times. Contact with water on the ultrasonic window is necessary to perform a measurement. maintenance interval due to strong adhesion of dirt residues.
Fixed mounting
The fixed mounting of the sensor is done using two hanging brackets (M10).
Suspension
A flexible installation can be achieved by suspending the sensor from the provided bracket using a stainless steel chain. This can be done either as a free-hanging installation (no restriction on lateral movement of the sensor) or by using a standpipe (restricting the lateral freedom of the sensor).
Both solutions are ideal for easily removing the sensor for routine or preventive maintenance.
Water Level
The Olpas Tentacle is designed to operate fully or partially submerged in water at all times. Contact with water on the ultrasonic window is necessary to perform a measurement.
Temporary drying
Temporary drying of the sensor will not cause damage, and the sensor will automatically resume operation upon contact with water. However, frequent drying of the ultrasonic window will shorten the maintenance interval due to strong adhesion of dirt residues.
