Before going out to install any sensor, an inventory of the items needed to perform the job is
always a good way to start. Below is a list of the minimum items needed to perform the task of
sensor installation.
Static Pressure Sensor with cable assembly of 50 feet.

9.2 Pre Installation for Static Pressure Sensor
• Perform a visual inspection of the sensor. Make sure that it does not have any physical
damage to the sensor mounting face or cable.
9.3 Static Pressure Mounting Locations
• Review the Unit Under Test and determine correct location for the pressure sensor. This may
require a tee adapter and block valve in the inlet pressure line.
• Review the orientation of the tap and verify that there are no obstacles preventing the sensor
from being installed into the location.
• Review the Unit Under Test and determine an appropriate sensor cable routing path to the
LDAU enclosure.
9.4 Mounting the Static Pressure Sensor
• Apply thread sealant to the pressure sensor threads for preparation into the auxiliary tap.
• Screw the Static Pressure sensor into the block valve housing.
• Open the block valve and ensure there are no fluid leaks around the installation.
