All steps necessary for the installation are described further below

1. Prepare Bottom Side:

a. Identify the area (square, size around 60x60 mm) on the bottom side, where

the piezo sensor shall be attached. For the area it is important to ensure that it

is completely horizontal when the IBC is stored in a horizontal position,
